Customer Reviews

pre readers books

This book is an excelent source for moms, teachers and any one who works with kids. The pictures tell an intricate story with out one word! What an excellent way to encourage a child to talk (speech therapy). The way each child interprets the story tells you so much more than words could (psychology). Emily McCully's books are too valuable to be out of print!!
