I like this for my grandkids. There are actually two stories here, the first one is written to Mom and is very sweet, thanking her for all she does. The kids like to "help" me read it to their mother and of course she gets a kick out of that. If the kids are looking for something to do for mom for Mother's Day, they can't go wrong with reading "Dear Mom" to her!Then you have the City of Lights, about a grand king who is the best king ever in an amazing city. The rhyming is clever without being difficult to read out loud, and the story is simple and entertaining for their young minds to follow along. They enjoy pretending one of them is the King in the City of Lights, and making up what the city looks like and what the king looks like. A few pieces of paper and a box of crayons go well with this story, and the kids will create completely different versions of the city every time you read the story to them. At the end there is a snippet of another book called My Daddy Adores Me, and I will be keeping an eye out for it to be published. Overall this is a good book to read to your kids or grandkids, and a nice way to encourage them to use their imagination and creativity.
