A simple children's tale. I was looking forward to it, but it fell a little flat for me personally. It was heavy on dialogue while the story felt empty and without a real purpose. I found myself skimming quickly large portions to get on with the story. I eventually switched to audiobook for the last couple chapters & felt it was much better suited as a casual but happy background read. Overall I give it a 3/5 ⭐️! Not awful, just simple & pleasant.
