Comments from Readers
Cassidy, age 5 from Oklahoma
Grandma is writing this to tell you how much Cassidy loves the book. We read it a lot! Her favorite part is when Amanda hugs Chad and he asks her to go dancing. Cassidy giggles as she "reads": I'd love to. She also likes the kiss at the end of the book and we re-tell the story backwards. Wonderful book!
