Customer Reviews

Rhythmic silly fun

A delightful rhythmic story of great fun with the donut van, a bear, the man who drives the van, and MOOSE! The illustrations by Brandon James Scott are complex, very imaginative, and lively in bright colors. Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected review galley on PDF from Astra Publishing House | Hippo Park via NetGalley.
