If you haven’t read this to your children, I imagine it’s because they were just born and you haven’t had a chance yet. 🙂 After reading it, you’ll be able to understand when others quote, “I think I can, I think I can…”
Our copy has one negative feature–sentences are broken up for page turns in strange places. This makes reading aloud a bit of a pain, but you’ll soon have it memorized anyway. 😉 Enjoy!
