Through The Looking Glass

June 29th, 2010

Evening everyone!!! Tomorrow I will have a review for you, but today I thought I would bring you a Tiny-Tot-Tuesday.

I found this book in a grocery store yesterday (on sale for $6.00 …woohoo!) and thought WOW, what a crazy interesting book. You have the story, but it is laid out in such a unique way that it makes the book itself into a journey. Every time you flip the page there are secret letters in these tiny little envelopes for you to pull out and read, maps to explore, hidden treasures to find. It is not for the tiniest of your children, but if you have a little curious cat around you this one is a fun one to explore.
