Reviews

[Lila Danisa]

Short with funny illustrations. Since my son understands about the comparison/comparative, reading this book was a fun reading experience following with our own hide-and-seek.

I guess these are very low leveled readers? This one is one story, in which the Bear is always found, because he's big, etc., ... what to do when the Bug is so small the other two cannot find him?
