Our Young Reviewer Says:
“I liked the book because I think it is cool that it doesn’t have any words so you can make up different versions of the story. The illustrations helped me understand what they are doing and how they are doing, and I think the pictures are very detailed so you can understand them well. I liked where it took place because it gave me a lot of understanding about the story.”
