This is actually a really nice book. It's a lot longer and better than I might have expected after some of the critical reviews. It fits together better than they make it sound, and the free sample wasn't exactly representative of the whole (the whole is better). It is simple, but in a good way. Writers can break from rhymes when they want to. I have nothing against that.It's about average picture book length in my experience, which is to say, not nearly as long as a Doctor Seuss book, but more than five pages (there are thirteen pages of story, not counting covers and stuff).Anyway, the art is awesome. You can feel love in the story. The child knows the moral already. It's not a book where she learns it. She's teaching us about herself, and we can envision others, too.It doesn't have pop-up text, which is surprising for its popularity, but that's okay. The regular style has advantages, too.
