Book Review
I Wonder What It's Like To Be tells the story of an inquisitive boy named Wonder, who "wonders" what it would be like to explore the world as an animal, plane and even a tree. Told in a musical verse this charming adventure easily engages readers to sing along and the bright and energetic illustrations are appealing.
I Wonder What's It's Like To Be encourages children to use their imagination to discover all the possibilities life has to offer and to have fun along the way and you might just learn "what it's like to be a chipmunk running free" or "what it's like to be a fish out in the sea."
I recommend picking up a copy of the book and enjoying the sing along and animated book at http://iwonderdoyou.com/. Available on Amazon.
