I Don’t Have a new book…It’s TWO!
Brand new in spring 2022! Written by Contessa Hileman, published by the lovely people at Little Bigfoot, Sasquatch Books.
These are simple, playful books. I can picture kids and parents/teachers playing the “I don’t have a dog, I have a …” game with ideas of their own. (Hilarity ensues)
It’s a fun game, with many and varied possibilities. I’d love to hear all the fun variations!
