This book is on my favorite book shelf for this month at the bookstore in which I work. My son reads to his daughter and I suggested this book. Both parent and child can appreciate this charming story and the clever way in which it is told. Very clever plot. I would have never guessed at the solution to the problem.
This book has everything!

Such a sweet book! Perfect for the 7-12 year-olds. The illustrations are lovely, the characters are funny and true. There is some sadness in it (thus the age range) but the ending is uplifting and glorious. This should be on every library shelf!

I read this book to my 7 year old twin girls, and the three of us loved it. The vocabulary, the humor, the characters were all wonderful. I have high hopes that the author will continue to write children's books.
