Joey Makes a Map
Joey knows where every one of his leases is. A book about knowing where things are, which is not the same as knowing what they say.
The Man with the Briefcase
He is polite. He is on time. He has read all of it. A gentle introduction to visitors.
The Very Small Words
A first book of words that are easy to miss. Magnifying glass recommended.
A first word
“Lease”
A lease is an important piece of paper.
It is usually long.
Sometimes it has very LARGE WORDS.
Sometimes it has very small words.
It explains the rules.
Some are easy to miss.
