In this book walls really do talk, and oh, the stories they tell. This
new edition combines the beloved children's books Talking Walls and
Talking Walls: The Stories Continue. Together, those titles sold more
than 170,000 copies. This new edition, thoroughly revised by the author,
makes the text more accessible to young readers and English Language
Learners and produces a book that is ideal for reading aloud. The back
matter includes a world map that helps readers locate the many walls
described, as well as additional information about the walls, the
places, and the people.
