I have a 20 month old who is totally enthralled with this book (I've read it up to seven times in a row, and he loves every second). I personally find it silly, but clever, and the best overall children's book I've ever read. I just wish it was more well known.

We got this book from the library and my kids (2 and 4) love it. The rhymes make it very easy to read and the story is enjoyable. We have read it so many times, that we actually quote the entire book from memory while riding in the car! Even my 2 year old knows the whole story by heart.

I confess this is not an unbiased review because Martha is a friend of mine, but I just have to report an incident she shared with me. As Martha read her book to group of 300 students recently she was delighted to hear some of the kids spontaneously reading along. At the end they clapped and cheered. But the real reward came when a teacher reported that an autistic boy who normally keeps his head down during assemblies had been enthralled with her reading. Back in the room the teacher checked in the child's desk, and there at the bottom was the school's copy of the book. I just bought a copy of this fun, zippy little book which I can't wait to give to my four year old grandson. I'm betting it will be a "read it again".
