They can't start the story like this! Ian is trying to be brave, despite his dizziness and fear of heights. But don't worry, because Abner has a plan: Readers will shake and turn the book until they get right side up! Sounds easy, right? Think again, because the real solution may be the opposite of what you'd expect. <p/>With the odd couple wit of Elephant & Piggie, the interactive appeal of <i>Press Here</i>, and a timeless charm all their own, Abner & Ian offer readers of all ages eighty pages of fast-paced fun with a surprising and rewarding twist.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>An Amazon Best Book of the Month for Ages 3-5, May 2019</b><br>--<b><i>-</b></i><br><br>* "Appealing."<br>--<b><i>School Library Connection, starred review</b></i><br><br>*"This comedic dilemma...will have children shouting at every shake of the book.
