Charming story. Not really suited to reading on Kindle, since the illustrations are not clearly visible and the videos not available at all.
Absolutely adorable wild tale told by a father to his children. Obviously if you already like Neil Gaiman this is worth the quick read.
A cute, adventure filled, quick read. Such a great message for kids and parents that a story can be spun from looking at everyday objects.
The kids and I really enjoyed this book!
