Introduction Preschoolers are classified as children who are too young for school yet but are ready to explore learning and processing. I didn’t think 3 year-olds would be able to comprehend and understand ideas and creativity. I was shocked to find this not true.

Jace pointed at the main objective at each page. I was confused in my own head, wondering if he understood what I was reading that 's why he knew what each page was about or if the illustrator did a wonderful job helping Jace to understand what the main objective was. Throughout the book I had Jace flip the pages. Beginning of our book again he struggled probably because of the thin papers but toward the middle he adapted. He learned how to smoothly turn the pages of a thin
