“I loved this book as a kid. My younger brother and I memorized the whole thing and would recite it together--one of us would take the "fortunately" parts and the other would do the "unfortunately" lines. We thought it was clever and funny. I re-read it recently with my kids, and I was delighted to find that I still like it just as much as I once did, and my daughter loves it too!”
