Book title
by Montmor1 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

I'm looking for a book title that is eluding me... it's a children's book that I believe came out last year, or at least got popular last year. It's meant to be read aloud and the idea of the book is that the reader has to do or say whatever is written... it makes the reader say funny words etc.... blurp flarp...etc... I also want to say the cover is simple and possibly white. Any ideas on the title or the author? Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone
