The 100% of the money going to US vets helps

This is a fun little 3 minute story padded out to 8 minutes with some banter between Stephen Colbert and Tom Hanks. The audible version includes a PDF of the pictures from the book (interestedly not the 40 or so sentences that make up the whole of the story) but having the PDF up while the book plays was fun enough.

Loved the banter between Tom Hanks and Steven Colbert. I'm glad that the illustrations we made available for download.
