This review is from: The Bad Child's Book of Beasts (Kindle Edition)

This book is just as fun/cute as the other reviewers stated, but if you want a version with the illustrations make sure to download the $0.99 version and not the free version.

This review is from: The Bad Child's Book of Beasts (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) (Paperback)

This is a short but adorable book of children's poetry that is whimsically illustrated and brilliantly written.

It is worth every penny! I read it aloud to my daughter and five minutes after we finished she was improvising her own poems. It was great!

This is a short a fun book of children's poetry that is whimsically illustrated and very well written.

At the price, who could go wrong! The illustrations show up well on the Kindle, and the linked table of contents works perfectly.

A great book, at a great price. Wonderful!
