Escape into the Mall - Donna LeBlanc

Purple Dragonfly Book Awards: 1st Place (tie) for Picture Books 6' Older. Purple Dragonfly Book Awards:Honorable Mention for Picture Books 5 ' Younger. On a regular day, in a regular mall, one little green ball gets an extraordinary chance to investigate a world he'd only viewed from his shelf in the toy store. With great wit and humor, Donna LeBlanc, author of the Story Monster Approved and multiple award-winning 'Explorations of Commander Josh' series, has our little green hero dodging shopper's feet and discovering all the delights-and daring-of a busy shopping mall. Like many little readers, he soon discovers that there is no place like his home in the toy store.
