The story is adorable and the illustrations are beautiful - good for early readers to enjoy on their own and for parents to enjoy with kids!

A quick read but very entertaining and beautifully illustrated- I'm loving the illustration trend in kids books - this one takes it a step further with the odd page being a vivid blue with white text and black and white (with blue thrown in here and there) images. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the other books in this series...

I've been circling around this book in the bookstore for awhile... so I was pretty stoked to find it at the library the other day... loving the illustrations!

PatriciaU It looks very 1960ish. 7y
