My Review:

This is a very cute book. The illustrations are amazing. The day it arrived my youngest daughter and I sat down to read it and she seemed to really enjoy it. I think she enjoyed the pictures more than anything since she seems to be drawn to great illustrations.  However the story is great for children and easy to understand. I think parents will enjoy reading this book to younger children and older children will be able to read it without any problems.
