Reviews

[Joanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rather than reading this book and thinking, “wow what an excellent way to help kiddos practice their reading” or “hmm...this was a great way to teach kids how to respond to frustrating situations” all I could think was “wow this looks exactly like my childhood. There’s the haircut I had for 90% of my single digits. Those are exactly the clothes I wore. Yikes even that weird plastic wicker chair thing I remember exactly from my grandma’s house.” Books can certainly take you on adventures and even help you travel through time, but I had no expected that from this.
