But for this one, the length is great, JJ loves it, and it’s a lovely, silly, and thoroughly enjoyable read for little ones. We haven’t read the prequel to this one yet, but we certainly look forward to it. The brightly-colored kitties are ripe for creating distinct voices for reading aloud, the text is fun and conversational, and the interactive elements are fantastic. This is a fun, sweet little book that can be very engaging for little ones. But perhaps, with a little help from the reader and a bit of magic, they can make their dream of exploring the world a reality – and even being a surprise back home with them! One problem though: they can’t figure out how to leave the book! They tried pushing their way out and jumping their way out, but no luck. You see, they are eager to leave the book they are in so that they may see the world. Viviane’s latest book, EVERYTHING IS A GAME, was published in August 2022 by Trapeze.Hello, friends!
