The books are robust and fun, perfect for encouraging a lively, interactive reading experience for children and adults, and developing young childrens’ motor skills, a key element in Montessori learning.

Award-winning author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel pairs a deadpan text with simple wood-grained shapes, interspersed with vibrant illustrations of animals engaged in hilariously absurd pastimes.
