This is a full-color hardcover book, meant to be read as a family. There's some larger vocabulary words in there, so younger readers may need a dictionary to help them. There are 84 pages. If you have anyone you want it dedicated to, put it in the notes when you order.
A NOTE TO THE INTERNATIONAL FOLKS: I'm not doing orders for international shipping because of shipping cost calculations and customs difficulties. When I get it figured out, I will post about it here!
