🧐What readers say about the book
What a a whimsical delight to read this book with your child or grandchild. I purchased 2 for the children of my daughters. O to have your granddaughter sit on your lap as you read only to have her start reading some of the words with you. That is the delight of reading with your 6 year old kindergartener. I suspect that the author has experienced the joy of what he is sharing. This is a treasure that can be passed on to next generations, so you might buy a couple of more just to have.
