Move! 2 reviews Robin Page
Houghton Mifflin, 2006
Move it or lose it
+ My kid has yet to be "moved" by this book.
I review a lot of children's books, but people like Steve Jenkins and Robin Page sometimes make me question the necessity of it all. Is there any point to reviewing the newest Jenkins/Page title ... ever? I mean, let's examine the facts here. These guys get better and more creative with every ...
