In this one we get to see Lonnie make a friend, Quincy the Quail. These names alone are just fantastic. Once again, the book had a 2 year old watching every turn. Anyone who is around a kid who is just barely 2, knows that they typically enjoy turning the pages of the book more than the story itself. Not this time. There are a ton of children's books out there and I've found that most of them miss the mark a little bit. This series hits it right on the head. Reviewed on Amazon by Lynn MacQueen
