Love the fun illustrations, fun audio, and Christopher loved it. Can't wait to pick up more in this collection.

awesome book lol
A great little story book for kids.
Wonderful story that has held up through the years. Teaches a good lesson - and has a magical quality that rivets the kids. Don't hesitate to get it.
