Testimonials.....
"As a School Librarian, I have read Len Saunders' books, Joey the Kangaroo and Spunky the Monkey to my Pre-school through 3rd grade classes and they loved them. We did the exercises as we read them and they were very inspired to do them. The illustrations are very kid friendly and the writing easy to follow with rhyming that appeals to young children. We are all anticipating the next one!"
