What a wonderful collection of ten stories by ten different authors and all for the price of $12.99. What a deal! My biggest problem with this book is the title! If a person read each story in five minutes they would totally miss out on the illustrations which make the stories come to life because “A picture is worth a thousand words.” The text and illustrations are by their original authors and illustrators from their first publication dates, which run from 2004 – 2018.

The titles include: A Couple of Boys have the Best Week Ever by Marla Frazee, Space Boy by Leo Landry, Happy Belly, Happy Smile by Rachel Isadora, Guyku: A Year of Haiku Boys by Bob Raczka, Mustache Baby by Bridget Heos, Quiet Wyatt by Tammi Sauer, Kid Amazing vs. the Blob by Josh Schneider ( a Theodor Suess Geisel Award winner), Brothers by David McPhail, Curious George and the Firefighters by Margret and H.A. Rey, and Real Cowboys by Kate Hoefler.
