Diabetic exchange lists, 2003 edition.

This book is full of charm, humour and cuteness, with its wonderful African flair, gorgeous pictures and message to encourage reading.

I want to have this book for my class and also for my own kids one day because I could read it over and over again and not get sick of it. The story progression had a Dr. Seuss vibe to it in my opinion because it was so silly and meta. (
