Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The magical Mr. Tumblebuddy Flipet writes stories
Maria Chatzi · 2013
54/100
👎 Skip It
This is less a story and more a hands-on creativity tool — you build a little tumbling paper character and use him to help your child invent their own adventure with twists along the way. It's a clever concept from a former language teacher, but judge it as a classroom activity or craft prop, not a book you sit down and read aloud.
