Children’s Book: Trashy Town by Andrea Zimmerman

Children’s Book: Dinosaur!

Children’s Book: Curious George Goes Camping

“Curious George Goes Camping” is another pointless entry in the Curious George series of books, written by Margret and H.A. Rey, and illustrated by Vipah Interactive, whatever that is, ‘in the style of H.A. Rey.” From that I assume that this book is illustrated by graphic artists who …
