Storybook: The Quack that Ate a Quarter





March 25, 2013
Big E came home from Kindergarten and told me he learned about rhyming words.
He said he had a funny idea that made his friends laugh. 
I suggested to make it into a booklet so he could share with more people.
Here is Big E's first storybook.
