Great positive message, cute illustration!
This book is well-written and easy for young readers to follow. It delivers a positive message in a humorous way. The illustrations are adorable and draws the reader into the story. I would highly recommend it for beginning readers.

This is actually closer to a 3.5 than a 3, but not quite enough for me to give it a 4.
The book aims to address how to get a young child to stop sucking his/her thumb. In the story, Ashley has very weird uncomfortable things happen to her that relate to her thumb sucking. The overall message in this work is to utilize will power: if you believe in yourself, the thumb sucking will cease.
This book is very well illustrated. There are very vivid depictions of emotions from Ashley, such as fear, dismay, and joy.
I find myself feeling slightly torn by this particular children’s read.
I wouldn’t recommend it to young children who are highly impressionable and/or who are prone to bad dreams. The beginning sketch with the sun grabbing Ashley and when Ashley’s teeth begin to change may not seem fully appealing.
For the child who is amused by unorthodox means (non-conventional) or wants a story different from the fairy tale like, straightforward educational approach, this story could get some takers.
I really applaud the goal and what this father/daughter writer duo was trying to do. However, only the parent truly knows how mature his or her child is as to whether they will be able to enjoy the portrayal of this story.
