Ratings and reviews

The story and art work were cute and well done. I had a hard time reading it with the print being so small on android which made it difficult to read to my two year old niece that may have been more interested in the story if the print wasn't so small on the e-book. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
