I love reading novels to my children, especially when they are ones that promote more reading to my kids, because they relate to something that they already know and enjoy- like a popular kid's TV show or they at least remind them of something they have seen.

I have enjoyed this novel with my children from the beginning until the end, it was very well written and I felt like everyone was satisfied by the way things were done. My five year-old is very bright for his age and will usually tell me if something just doesn't make since to him; however, he found this novel enjoyable and I was able to teach him the importance of helping anyone that you can along your way.
