Phinney Kids by Post #117

Silvia Borando's Short Stories is flash fiction for kids. Each of these eleven cheeky stories is just a few sentences long, with the simple illustrations adding to the visual gags. Night falls while a snail waits for a centipede to put on their shoes. A hedgehog ruins a birthday party. A snake finds a great new outfit in a pair of socks. Fans of Remy Charlip's dark humor will enjoy this picture book.
