Soulivan -  🇺🇸

By Jacqueline Makson

"' The book recounts the adventures of Soulivan Lambchop after surviving being squashed flat while sleeping by a falling bulletin board. He survives and makes the best of being flat, and soon he is entering locked rooms by sliding under the door, being rolled up to go out to the park and playing with his younger brother by being used as a kite. "
