Bookroo's summary

Explore the world through the eyes of a child, where familiar signs like WALK and STOP become the first words they 'read.' This book invites young minds to uncover the symbols and patterns that surround them, turning everyday journeys into exciting adventures. What messages will they decode next?

From the publisher

WALK. EXIT. STOP. Many young children recognize these words long before they learn to read. Why? Because they see them over and over again as they walk and ride around town. And now they can “read” these same words - and more - right here in this book.
