Man this book is mostly for the parent. It preaches a bit of compassion and good fun. I could see how a kid could not love this but as an adult I love it.

A book my 6 yr old as well as my twin 3 yr olds loved. A solid reading level 1 book, this cute story keeps all ages engaged with the bright colorful pictures and cute story. A great addition to any children's library.
