This interactive children's poetry book is AWESOME! There are all kinds of wonderful things going on with this book. The book teaches the child about nouns and verbs, while also allowing them to fill in the blanks and create their own stories! I loved how the story becomes the child's unique book, and they can color it too!
Other things I really enjoyed about this book was that it encouraged sharing, acceptance of others, positive thinking, and was layered with messages to encourage the child uplift the world around them.
Two HUGE thumbs up to yet another wonderful Portland writer!
