i grew up with these little books that were released as a set the year before i was born. i remember loving them as child. mercer mayer’s wordless little books tell such amazing stories. i remember making up the words “that should’ve been there” with my sister. my mom passed them to me recently and my children have now discovered the joy of them. i “read” them by telling what the characters are “saying”, and asking them what they think is going to happen next. they love finding all the hidden little creatures in the pictures and laugh at all the shenanigans that the boy, the dog, and the frog get into. if you ever come across these – pick them up. they’re wonderful.
