A whole book a struggling reader can finish in one happy sitting.
A relentlessly cheerful narwhal and a skeptical jellyfish meet, argue about whether the other one is even real, and become a pod of two. Three tiny stories, one imaginary waffle party.
Three very short stories mean three finish lines in one book — a struggling reader gets to feel done three times. Speech bubbles and oceans of white space keep every page unthreatening.
