A fun and interactive away to
One of those books that we’ve grown to love more the more we read it. The first time we read it, I was thinking “hmmm…this is a little weird” but then I read it with my 3 year old and he LOVED interacting with the book. I totally see where you were going with this, Herve Tullet! I guess I was too old to see it 🙂
