Here's what I think....
My Review...
I love this book. It's a great story to read aloud- I usually read a couple of stories a night to my munchkins! It was fun to read, and they had lots of fun pointing out the different things we saw in the book.
I think the story is a great kids' story. It's full of imagination and wacky fun! I think all books need at least a little bit of that! The illustrations are a little dark, but I suspect that is more of a printing issue than a planned one... colors don't always look the same as what you drew when you print them.
This is a great bedtime story for all little kids. I know I've read it a ton! It's the kind of story that sticks with the kids and makes them want to hear it again and again!
