Who doesn't enjoy a picture book for their child? My children are still young, but my wife and I read to them every chance we get. As a result, I'm constantly in search of good chidlrens books.Let's start with the good. The pictures are cool. The story has potential. Now, the not so good. I'm a stickler for grammar, spelling and flow, which this books desperately lacks. As a poet myself, creating rhyming verses are fun, but when they actually rhyme. The verses should flow together, free of run-on sentences and improper grammar. Unfortunately, this book lacks that "flow." Don't get me wrong, there's potential in this book but I believe it should be pulled back into the editorial phase.
