Reviews

Plumfield and Paideia

The Little Family
Reviewed by Diane Pendergraft
Lenski said she got the idea for the “Small” books by watching her young son play with his toy trucks and airplanes. She realized he wasn’t imagining the vehicles as characters, but rather, that he was seeing himself as the driver or pilot. These simple little books are for your youngest listeners. Children will be drawn into the delight of words as they associate them with everyday activities.
