So Cute!
This entire book series is absolutely adorable! The illustrations are bright and colorful. They definitely kept my toddlers attention. The story of Stella learning it’s better to share was quite sweet. Then the last page put the cherry on top for me because I love a good bit of knowledge with any children’s book.
