This has always been one of our families favorites. I loved reading it when I was younger and then I loved reading it to our young children, and now we as a family get excited when we find the excuse to gift this book to any little one! The pictures are charming, and it’s a fun read aloud.

História bacana e ilustrações muito fofas mas não deu muito certo por aqui. Por mais que eu faça diferentes entonações com a voz durante a leitura e gestos também o meu filho de 2 anos não consegue se concentrar até o final. A história é longa então recomendo pra crianças acima de 4 anos que já entendem melhor e a história vai conseguir prender até o final do livro. Fora isso gostei que é bem resistente e meu filho gostou de folhear vendo as ilustrações.
