I read this book to my class of second graders and instantly fell in love. I especially appreciate the way the author will occasionally write directly to the reader, as if to clarify or assists young readers as they read the book. My students' approval of the book was unanimous. Some even bought their own copies because they couldn't wait for me to finish reading it aloud to the class.
