What kids love: The fun rhyming words and the fun imaginative play.

What parents love: It's a fun different kind of story that uses a lot of fun words.

Rate: Borrow from the library unless your kid loves it. My son is not a big fan of this book.

Bottom line: While there are some fun parts to this story most of it is not that entertaining and the pictures are just okay.
