Talk about imagination!
One of the best children's books I've read. Can't wait to read it with my niece. Full of imaginative scenarios and real-life situations that are solved with humor and compassion. A good lesson to be learned by all without even knowing you're doing so.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
