“My three-year-old loves this book! Because the text rhymes and follows a pattern of action and consequences, it's easy for her to remember the words on each page--she likes to have me read the first half of each sentence, and then she completes the rest. It's silly, fun, colorful, and has a clear plot to it. It's a classic and a favorite in our house!”
