(Parts of speech) "Brilliant...different.... Teaching at the same time. Fantastic book." – Amanda Williams, U.K. A mysterious visitor brings intrigue, excitement, and laughs to a multiracial family.

Elena is a sensible child. Unlike her zany brother Benjamin, she sticks to reason and facts—but not for long. Elena's practical world tilts thanks, in part, to her baby brother Ivan...and an unusual guest. Kids love to find "it" and count its shapes (boys or girls ages 4 – 7, preschool – second grade/ESL/ELL).
