My Review
Posted on 16 April 2015
Here's the link to the original post:
Goo and Spot in the Do Not Wiggle Riddle is a delightful bedtime story for girls and boys. I read it to Amanda last night. She is 7 years old and enjoyed the book thoroughly. Her favorite parts were the "Now keep your ears open and your mouth closed up tight..." and the answer to the riddle at the end of the story.
I really appreciated the idea of this book, to encourage kids to listen and think. It's a feel-good bedtime story and the fun rhyming makes it even better. I highly recommend it for boys and girls ages 7 and under.
I previously did a review for another delightful rhyming book of Elsa's. You can check out that review at A Moat is Not a Goat.
A NEW Goo and Spot Book Coming Soon!!
