Reviews

[Katie · Rating 5 out of 5]

No memory of where I picked this book up (St. Vincent de Paul's?) but it was possibly $0.99, had the full sticker sheet in the back pocket (from the early '90s!), and was generally just way cooler than it had any right to be. Almost makes me regret buying another energy book cause it was so unexpectedly good. Kiddo was super engaged and loves it.

This book was fine, but my library copy was sticky and gross once I got into it, so I'm not finishing it. I'll look into a more updated new book for our library.
