A mysterious visitor brings intrigue, excitement, and laughs to a multiracial family. Elena is a sensible child. Unlike her zany brother Benjamin, she sticks to reason and facts-but Elena’s practical world has tilted thanks, in part, to her baby brother Ivan…and an unusual guest. Kids love finding it and counting its shapes (boys or girls ages 4 – 7, preschool – second grade). In Publisher’s Weekly. A picture book thriller of prepositions, interjections, monsters, and heroes-with finding/counting activity, online SECRETS, and vivid illustrations by Jeremy Higginbotham. Brilliant…different…. Teaching at the same time. Fantastic book.
