Ratings and reviews

My 7 year old love this book. The reader made the story come to life and I could hear my baby girl giggling during some parts of the audio. I first say the book in one of my 5th grade colleague's class and I stood and read it and I wanted my baby girl to hear it. Will get her for Christmas. Beautiful story!! Amazing illustrations! Awesome reading!!
