I ordered this for the first time over 6 years ago when i had my lil Stellabean. I read it to her all the time from a baby to this day still. It's one of my favorite all time. It has this awesome flow to it. Keeping the child engaged and I've never got tired of it. Even after all these years. I even buy it for part of a gift for parents-to-be. Hoping they can experience the same delight i have for so many years. Hands down my favorite then, now, and forever. That's a picture of the book over 6 years later and lots of use.

    I ordered this book as a Baby Shower gift to be used as the "card" . Unfortunately the book was printed upside down from what the cover was so I had to return it. Thankfully, the seller just gave me a refund and so I gifted my own copy and kept the upside down one for my "Bama-brary".

    I would have given this book 5 stars but my copy came with the first few pages stuck tightly together.
    The story in itself was another lesson in life about not judging a book by it’s cover & accepting that everyone is different & talented in their own way. Pity my copy was spoilt.

    After receiving a copy of this book as a gift at my own baby shower, I've gifted other copies to each of my friends at every baby shower I've attended since.

    It's well written, well illustrated, silly and powerful.

    Highly recommend.
