Reviews

[Eva Kelly]

OK, so this one was NOT what we thought it was. It's a story, right? But the story is also a SONG. And Mama and Tanya didn't know the music so they couldn't sing it. No one could.
I guess this one was OK. But let that be a lesson to you. If you get a book that's also a song, you need to know how to SING it.

This book was just a song retold into a book, but what I loved about it was how well they illustrated the song onto a book, I would most likely use this book as a individual read for ages 6-7.
