Ratings and reviews

This was a good book for our kid(s) (when they were younger), regardless of their individual learning styles; b/c it has great illustrations, easy to read pages and ultimately an interesting, easy to follow storyline. The reason I gave it a four (instead of five) star rating is cost: I'd suggest at full price it is a bit expensive for such a short book.
