Rated 5 starsMy daughter loves this book!!!
My 3 year old daughter insists that we read this book to her several times a day. The story is really cute and the illustrations are well done and keep my daughter's interest. I will get Oliver Jeffers' other three titles as well.

Rated 5 starsClever tale with beautiful illustrations
