Another brilliant book to encourage and satisfy early readers.
Readings Monthly
Delightful for sharing with a little one, especially if you ask them to predict what each might say using the expressive illustrations as clues (thus building their understanding that the words and pictures are integral to each other and essential for the whole), they also enable the little one to tell themselves the story.
