"Every one of Tabitha Paige's books is so charming and refreshing for my little one's library. Not only are they developmentally appropriate and truly target a child's visual abilities and developing brain, but they are beautifully illustrated and also double as unique and lovely nursery decor! The themes she uses are universal, the stories are precious, and the colors are rich but not overstimulating. Truly a keepsake!"
