Stay for the Show - Hardcover

by Gregory Lemoine (Author)

Don't Miss the Show is a playful, imaginative picture book about curiosity, timing, and the unexpected magic that can happen when a child leaves the room for just one moment.

When a young student steps out during class, he thinks he is only missing a few ordinary minutes. But back in the classroom, something extraordinary begins to unfold. Marbles roll, feathers appear, animals arrive, and the room transforms into a wild, wonderful surprise that everyone else gets to see.
