So much fun !
- Apr 29, 2011I like everything about this book, especially the pictures. They are beautifully done and illustrate the story well. My favorite is the toad doing the muscle man stance with his tooth sparkling. This is a really fun bool for a two year old. My son likes to say the noises and when I read the book to him I pause so he can fill in the sounds himself.
