This book is so charming. . . Mandy Newham-Cobb does a fantastic job of illustrating each page with the most adorable and vivid illustrations . . . And at the end of the story, the author challenges children to read the story again and lists several different things for them to watch for and count in the illustrations on each page. I love this idea because it lets the child interact more with the story." Five Stars - Joy Hannabass, Readers' Favorite ". . .
