Why read it?
1 author picked Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book’s story and characters are so beautifully crafted, you’ll probably want to read this one more than once—like I did!
From Rob's list on middle-grade readers will love.
