Join two siblings as they pack their suitcases for a fun trip!
My Suitcase is ready to go with all the things kids will need for time away from home: from shampoo and toothbrushes, to hats and clothes, to their favorite blankies and stuffed animals. Laugh along with the narrator as the kids also try to squeeze in some peculiar objects, like their pet goldfish, a tricycle, and more! Will they fit?
Each spread introduces a different category of items, such as toiletries, toys, or snacks, and all objects are brightly illustrated and labeled so that children know exactly what they're seeing. The playful artwork and friendly, simple text make this book the perfect companion for little travelers, keeping them engaged on those long car rides or flights.
