What John Marco Saw

Description

A wry picture book about a little boy who can't get anyone to listen to him. But maybe everyone should slow down and hear what he has to say. If they don't, they could end up in trouble. If they do, they might discover some pretty amazing things. They just need to pay attention. Like John Marco does.
