From award-winning author-illustrator Amy Schwartz comes a charming interactive picture book with four stories about a boy who shares special everyday experiences with friends and family--but what do you think he likes best?

When James visits his friends the twins, he gets to ride an express bus, play with toys, and eat yummy snacks. At Grandma's house, he plays games and dress-up and even gets a gift. At the County Fair, there are trains, prizes, and pony rides to enjoy. And at Angela's house, there are birds out the window and sweet treats in the oven. Young readers can think back on the many fun moments and encounters and choose what they think James enjoyed the most.
