Little Kid Reaction

Our daughter loves this book, particularly the pages in the back where she can give the creatures names and then add her own events to the story.

Parent Reaction

We were surprised. We thought this might be a little bit stilted, but it is fun to read ... and to listen to our daughter's tales. We also like the fact that many of her Level 1 sight words comprise the story, making it easy to practice reading.
