Review: Not the best

I was asked by the author to read and review this book so I feel kind of bad about leaving a "three-starer".In my mind, this book is not really worth your time. It wasn't super well written, particularly clever, or even vaguely amusing. Now, I'm not a little kid so I can't tell you if a child would enjoy this book, but in my opinion there are a lot of better picture books out there.Yes, this book does carry a good message but I don't know if really little kids would pick up on it. It's not super obvious and I'm not sure that younger children would really understand the good message.On the plus side, it was converted to Kindle format beautifully and I was able to read it on my Kindle Paperwhite without having to squint or anything, as I have had to do in the past with picture books.Overall, I think that some little kids may enjoy this book, and some may not. It really depends on your child's personality. If you get the book free, like I did, it may be worthwhile. But I don't recommend that you download the book for the $2.99 it usually is; I just don't think the book is worth that much.I apologize to the author for this somewhat harsh review. Don't take it personally, like some author's are prone to do. After all, I'm reviewing the book, not you. I would recommend that you keep trying your hand at writing; someday I'm sure you'll write an excellent book that nearly everybody will love...but this book isn't it.-Mark LeGrand Messick, bestselling author of Ebook Publishing Secrets, Secrets To Selling Ebooks On Amazon, and 4016 A.D. - Nuclear Apocalypse Series Book 1
