4 ⭐ This book was fun. It rhymes well, but the cadence is all over the place. It wants to be in a pattern, but it‘s not very good at keeping that pattern. However, the kids are going to love the story and will laugh at mom and dad or the storyteller as they trip over the lines. The illustrations are bright and fun, and a perfect match to the story. My one complaint is the letter at the beginning of the book. That should be moved to the end.

LibrarianRyan A letter in beginning of the book set up expectations of what is to come. I think letters work better at the end, so one see what the author was expecting the reader to find, instead of telling the reader it‘s going to be there. When you tell the reader it‘s there ahead of time and they don‘t find it or didn‘t feel the message came across, it becomes a letdown of the story. Overall, I like this book and it‘s not bad for a celebrity author, but I 1w
LibrarianRyan think they need a little more practice.
