Reviews

"A gentle way to encourage little ones to want to read." -- Alice Toepel, Winnebago County Literacy Council, Oshkosh, WI

"Compelling, brief narrative accompanied by brightly colored, descriptive illustrations draw the young board book reader into the story with ease ... Children will love paging through their own board book about reading their first book." -- Midwest Book Review
