Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
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.
