By Elise Nuttall on August 11, 2017 It's a picture book, and it's so inventive and creative! I "read" it with my niece and she absolutely loved that book. She could understand the story without having to struggle as a new reader | |
By Colby J Cuppernull on September 11, 2013 I read this book with my three-and-a-half-year-old son last night. Tonight, when we read it again, it is slightly different. New words are used to give voice to the story told through the images. Every time we read this book, it will become new. |
