Reviews
These are charming stories with surprising and funny twists. … There is a timelessness to these stories
Reading Time
This is a book that I think will appeal to younger independent readers as the layout of the book makes it an easy read. There are three distinct stories with large text, colourful illustrations and short chapters. This is a book that would also work in a classroom read aloud situation.
