MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

This has to be the best idea I’ve ever seen for introducing a younger age group of kids to classical writings. There is so much going on each page, hidden treats behind flaps to intrigue the reader, pop-ups, great settings, fantastic premise (stage), colors everywhere and clever composititions that are age appropriate.

I give high fives to the author, illustrators and publisher for coming up with such a crazy unique concept. It’s highly entertaining and very engaging.  I can see parents sitting with their children and spending a good hour on everything there is between this book’s covers.

Well done!
