My kids love this Pecorino book as well. They want me to read it to them every night, and they just laugh and laugh at all of Pecorino's silliness. We can't wait to read about his next adventure/

I am a writer by trade and the writing in this book is so fresh and original -- so silly and clever -- that it's one book my sons and I love equally. (Amazon says it's for up to 2nd graders, but my very sophisticated 4th grader also loves it as well as my kindergartner.) Mind you, the art direction is also nothing short of brilliant, full of tactile 3-D appeal, including yarn grass, vintage graph paper backdrops, and real cotton clouds. It's a treat for the eyes and the ears. I'm buying several copies to give to all my son's T-ball friends on their birthdays.

My daughter and I read a lot of books, but this one became an instant favorite. The story is fun and the illustrations are outstanding. We checked this out at the library, but will adding it to our collection soon.
