    ¿Cuando esta caja esté llena?

    by Patricia Lillie

    There's something spectacular about Big Book versions of great children's stories. Both kids and adults love to touch and hold these oversized classics and savor the detail of the illustrations.

    Children learn about months and seasons in this beautifully illustrated book in which something memorable from each month is added to a special box till it's full. "A handsome book for sharing with very young audiences." - Horn Book.
