This book is very sweet. It's a book an adult will read to a child, though many of the words can be "sounded out" by an early reader.The story is predictable and comforting.  The photo illustrations were well-chosen for the plot.  I'm not quite so sure about the texture added to the photos, making them look artistic, but they're still charming pictures.  I think they'll delight a child.One of the best things about this book is the sequence of the photos.  A toddler can make up a story to go with them, paging through the book.  No reading is necessary.And, after the child has heard the full story once, that will add extra meaning to each photo.  And, he or she can "read" the book to a friend or a pet or a doll, and feel confident.  It's a great way for a child to feel a bond with books, from the beginning.And, of course, there's a lesson in the story, about staying close to home.If you like classic stories with good messages and photos sure to make you (and your child) smile, this is a very cute book.
