"Wait" - Antoinette Portis

3 words. 3 words constitute the entire vocabulary of this book! Always genius when intonation tells a story and changes the meaning.

His mother wants him to "hurry" or they'll miss their bus. A boy wants to "wait" and see all the things there are to see in the city. Is the time spent worth it? Find out inside!
