Story Time 11/12/14

From the author of How to Teach a Slug to Read comes a delightful story about a pea named Arlo who wants to be free. So off he rolls...and rolls...and rolls. He meets a slug, he meets a bug—and still he rolls until...you'll see! Filled with charming illustrations and told in verse, this endearing tale explores the ideas of independence and striking out on one's own.





Spot hides.
Spot seeks.
Spot blends,
Spot peeks!

Each turn of these bright and colorful pages yields a new, surprising discovery, taking readers on an exciting seek-and-find journey!
