5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!, March 7, 2006
By Bethany (Provo, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This was the longest book my two-year-old would sit through... again and again and again. She loved acting the part of the little heroine and readily recited "you throw him out!" with much enthusiasm. The drawings are entertaining and the end is lovely. I would whole-heartedly recommend this darling story.
