Bigmama's
While the book is good, the copy I received was not. It had been colored in with an orange crayon on all the pages. So it is usable as a read aloud for my classroom. It was even marked as good for the review of how it looked. I do not think this was an accurate review of the condition of this book. I could understand some wear but not crayon on every page.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
