Maybe it's because I don't have any little kids around the house any more, but I didn't particularly care for this book. I found the rhyming very contrived, and even for an intentionally nonsensical book it didn't make sense. But then, I'm not exactly the target audience the author was shooting for, either! My grandson might very well love it, as might my three godsons, but we'll never know. I read a lot of children's books, specifically to find good ones I'd be willing to buy my "boys", and this one just didn't make the cut... sorry. As it is, there are far too many good children's books out there for me to buy them all, so I can afford to be extra picky. I want my grandson and godsons to grow up in love with reading, so I want to buy them the best books I can find.By all means, though, if you are considering this book for your youngsters, don't make up your mind on the basis of my review alone. Most of the other reviewers were very much impressed with the book, and their children all seemed to enjoy it as well. We may all have different opinions (and we're all entitled to), but in general the majority rules, so just because it didn't do anything for me does not mean it's a bad book. It only means it didn't do anything for me. You may like it very much, and I sincerely hope you do.
