Description
Guess What I Am was inspired by the inquisitive minds that I deal with on a daily basis! Children are always asking questions, needing to know all! I wanted to try to assist with the learning process by making a fun and mind-searching question and answer book. This I Spy meets Dr. Seuss seemed to fulfill that idea. This book targets the young child age group but can be fun for all.
