MY REVIEW
I loved the illustrations in the book, they are really great and lovely to look at.
I thought that the story was good and it was one my 6 year old daughter really enjoyed too and we did have a few giggles, she is a little over the age range given but she loves being able to read books herself so that’s a plus for me and something I definitely encourage.
We read the book together and then she read it to me the next night and has asked for it again tonight – you can’t really give greater praise to a children’s book than that with the number of books that there are available.
It is 5 stars from me for this one, it is already a firm favourite in our house – very highly recommended!
