Not much to it, but lots of fun nevertheless. My inner child is giggling and wants to read it again and again, even though adult me is almost bored after just a couple of reads. "A...mazzzz...ing." Oh, and I want a great big coat and donuts now, too.

Mommy says: This would be a fun book to read to a classroom. In costume. With doughnuts.

I love this book because of how intrigued my oldest boy was by it when he was little. It struck him so funny. I love the way kids think! Now he's a teenager so I love the memories this book brings.
