When Minnie's Sparkle-izer disappears, Millie and Melody join in the search for it.
Simple sentences and bright, colorful illustrations pair up to make this a perfect choice for the beginning reader. Using rebus picture and simple text, the story is way to read and comprehend. Familiar characters help in the appeal of the book. This would be a great purchase for the elementary library. Recommended for ages 3 through grade 2.
