Page edges may have foxing (age related spots and browning). May NOT include discs, access code or other supplemental materials.
After hearing my own sons repeatedly say the oldest child's name in the book, I had to buy the book to see what they were talking about. I really liked the story and the "why" behind the oldest child's name.

Fun to read book
A good multicultural early elementary or preschool book using repetitive, rhythmic language presented with humor. Highly recommended for teachers.
