This book is an exceptional find for teachers. It especially lends itself to use in math and science lessons. I use it in lessons with my middle school students and it always opens lively discussion on the values which are presented in the text. I have also presented it to graduate and undergraduate students in education classes, where it receives high praise for its versitility. I purchased the text for my children over twenty years ago and it has been a favorite for the grandchildren also. Thank you Harve & Margot Zemach!!

I've used this book in my classroom for many years. It's a great way to teach irony. It's a book which can be read to little kids as well as much older students (they see all the irony in the story). I love the dry wit of the book. The pictures are excellent, too
