This is another book I didn't pick up until I was reading it to a boy I babysit.
It's funny. But its funny for the adult reading the story, not so much the child who is hearing it. A lot of the subtle jokes were lost on Ryan and the ending is nearly impossible for a two year old to understand.
I had to explain to him that she was lying in the story and that she wasn't really sorry and he just couldn't understand. So this is a book better suited to older kids.
