I love how this character stood out from the crowd. She is different and unique she likes being herself and not being or wanting to act like others. She loves being different and does not care what people have to say or think. She is being herself and she will not change for anyone. A must read for any and all book lovers everywhere.

This is a lively, fantastical story. It is creative and a quick read for good readers. The illustrations are well done and heighten the story line.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

An absurd children's book about a surreal visit to the grocery store. The illustrations are strange, too.

Kids might like it.
