This is a great picture book to share with young children.  It's about different animals that happen upon a strange object in the woods and what they each do with it and then  a young boy finds the object and reads from it  and all the animals listen and find great joy in the stories he shares from the BOOK!

The illustrations are bright, and colorful.

This is a very descriptive tale of the world we live in.  The text is whimsical.  I really enjoyed reading it over and over - it's a warm, fuzzy!

There once were three friends:  a ninja, a cowboy and a bear.  They enjoyed doing everything together.  Enjoy this story and the lessons about friends.

This book is FUN!  The pictures are joyful.  You can sing this story to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it"

I loved it - great for storytime.

I enjoyed reading this story the same way you would read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Do you like making cookies? What would you do if there were no sprinkles to decorate YOUR Christmas Cookies? Discover how Little Nat tracks the Snitcher wherever he's at!

This is a heartwarming story of how snowmen celebrate Christmas.


Read how they party and gather in the town square while waiting for


a visit from the Snowman Santa Claus!


Bonus:  See if you can find the hidden objects in each painting-a list


of what to look for is on the last page of the book.
