I have read them three times - twice myself and once with my son. I read them with my son not too long ago, so probably won't participate in the readalong - but just wanted a chance to say how much I love them. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148858271711006048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-16274174543717232372016-12-14T13:46:11.503+11:002016-12-14T13:46:11.503+11:00I love this idea!
