Blurb:

Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.

  1. These stories sound cute! I don't know that I'd want my kids letting a hippo in the house, but, the story catcher, yes! Lovely and thanks for sharing... Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
