This book is smaller than i thought it would be. it is only a little bigger than my hand. most pages dont have very much on them but it has great little pictures and stories. Great to throw in a purse or bag and take anywhere. i love it because the pictures are great and it can be read over and over again!

Short and sinister! I loved most of the poems, and the illustrations are fantastic as well! I gave this away as a birthday present and she adored it!
