But who will read - now guess this riddle - when the words are in the middle? The answer's easy! Plain as pie! We'll read together, you and I." This book becomes an interactive tool for two readers. One person reads text on the left side of the page. The child reads the text on the right side of the page. They read the text in the middle together.
