The moral of the story was good, but I didn't care for how it was reached, or the long introduction to the characters and other random people who weren't really included in the rest of the story. The pictures were pretty nice, but still not a book I'm planning on reading again.

This is a retelling of one of Chaucer's stories. My boys really liked it and enjoyed all the tricks the animals played on each other. The illustrations were nice and I am pretty sure she did it in the style of the time.
We'll be using this again when we hit Chaucer.
