Inside the book

A peek between the covers

'So I've just made my wand and a big starry hat, and I think I'll turn Leon into a bat.'
'I'm making this rocket right here in my room, I'll blast Martian Leon right up to the moon.'
'His hand is so tiny; he's so warm and small. I pull him close to me in one cuddly ball.'
I'm a busy big sister; there's so much to do. I find all my paper, my crayons and glue.'
