We tested 'A Night on The Town', my 4 year old LOVED it! It will absolutely be under the tree this year.
My daughter tested "le meilleur endroit/Le pire endroit". She found this book so funny because she could start the story both ways. It is a cute book that appeals to children.
I was also the evaluator for this book, testers were unanimous they all loved this book!
