  • Amazing book!

    I bought this to read aloud to my kiddos ages 10, 8, and 5. Each time we sat down to start the book they all wanted to sit close so they could see the few pictures that are included. But the pictures are completely unnecessary because the description the author provides are more than enough for an amazing mental picture of what’s happening. Even for my youngest son! We all laughed, cried, and were sad when the book was over. I loved it so much that I’ve ordered copies for several friends to read to their children as well!

  • It's a great story with great detail my daughter couldn't stop raving about.

    I bought it for my daughter since she said her teacher was reading it to the class, but she had stopped reading it to the class. This was because of Covid. My daughter was upset because she really enjoyed the story. She kept on telling me about it as she read it til the end. The author put in great detail!
