[Dolly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Our youngest brought this book home from school to practice her reading. It's a very short book and it has cute, colorful illustrations and an engaging story. The simple narrative in this book helps children gain confidence as they learn to read.

[Taylor Harnish]

The illustrations in this book are about as cute and engaging as the story!

More like "... Fend Off a Rabbit" but okay. Y'know, I get the need for early leveled readers, one step up from the Bob Books, but I hope McPhail's books can be bought as an affordable set.
