I recently picked up this book for my children, ages 2 and 4, and it has become a favorite bedtime read. I love that it taps my children's excitement for animals and encourages them to think in unusual ways - do cats like spaghetti, for instance? We can use it to reinforce the concept of time as we watch the clock tick closer to 3 o'clock when the children return home and the cats rush to tidy the kitchen. And big words like "spaghetti" and "guacamole" have my 2 year old trying to say new words. It's a good length for a bedtime story - not so long that my younger child looses interest or the story line becomes too complicated, yet there's enough to wonder about that it holds my 4 year old's attention also. It's a great bedtime book!

I had this book when I was younger and absolutely loved it. Very whimsical and imaginative and fun. :]

After a long time acquiring this book, my daughter finally got a used copy. We have another Cocca-Leffler, Bravery Soup, which is just great, so I wanted to get her this one, too. While Bravery Soup has great characters and story, this one is just ok. It's cute, and my daughter likes it. The illustrations are fun, so it's a winner in our house. But it's just ok, not fantastic in my book.
