While I'm not fond of the Magic Castle Readers books, this one was fun.

This book could fit so many different themes and had several opportunities for the kids to be interactive and move around. They could go up, around, & down with the wind, do the animal noises, call back the repeating line, etc. It got a little long but could be easily shortened.

I read this book over and over to my grandson so many times that I know it by heart. It's a most delightful story.
