Reviews
""Brilliant! I've never 'read' a wordless story before...and now I get it! Amazing! Kids can easily describe what's going on in the pictures to tell the story. And if they get a different story each time--all the better. It can develop their imagination and vocabulary."" - Connie Cullum, author
