FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…Gary Lamit created a cute book about diverse friends enjoying a day of adventure and learning. In the beginning it took me a moment to realize who was speaking at the moment but once I got the hang of how the author wrote, it became easier to read to myself and then to the kids. The thing I enjoyed from this book was the fact that I even learned new things about fish, beavers, labs, and mushrooms as these friends tromped through the forest and pond. The kids of course got a kick out of the talking grumbling dog and talking walking fish.
