"I cannot say enough about the author, Tabitha Paige! From the illustrations to the engaging storylines to the vocabulary she integrates. She chooses every element in her books very carefully! Each time I read one of her books to my students, they love it! We especially love Wishy Washy! My students love swirling their paint brushes in the air and reading the words along with me, just as I've seen Tabitha model at one of her readings! I gift the Our Little Adventures series to new mommies at every baby shower I attend! They are always in awe when they open the books! Tabitha Paige is an incredible author/illustrator! As a former primary, Dyslexia, and special education teacher turned assistant principal, I highly recommend any and all of Tabitha's books!"
