We were reading and acting the characters, playing with voices, creating our own stories everyone had fun.

Good gift for coming holidays!

This is a really fun and creative way… This is a really fun and creative way to read a book with your little ones. It's perfect for right before bedtime when you are all winding down.

So glad I came across these books on Instagram! Love them!!

My dad purchased two of these for my… My dad purchased two of these for my kids. The cut outs are really cool and the concept is awesome.
