This colorful book of rhythm and rhyme is a fun and easy way to make sure your kids know you made the right choice in 2008!
Regardless of your political leanings, that’s odd. Although I have to admit that the illustrations are easy on the eyes in a colorform-tastic sort of way. Click the image below to view more sample pages.
