My Review:

I don't want to give spoilers about this fantastic book, so I will limit my details.  That being said...this book is absolutely AMAZING!!!  There is absolutely nothing to not like in this great book.  This is one of those kids books that is fun to read, great fun to listen to when being read, has a great moral/value in the story that kids can take out of it, and is absolutely eye stimulating with all the fantastic pictures that are not only drawn to be fun to look at, but are very bright and colorful to look at also.  My son is older than the age range this book is primarily geared toward, but even he enjoyed hearing the story and looking at the wonderful pictures.  I read it aloud to him and he read it on his own, enjoying it both times.  There were a few words that he did not recognize or know, but the wording is such that he was able to figure out what they meant as he finished the sentence and page.  

If you have any children in your life that you want to share a great book with, this is the book you should read with them or to them.  The story line is fun and valuable.  This author nailed writing a book that is different, yet you feel like it should have been around for ages and ages.  I highly recommend checking out this book, the other books he has written, and following Jason on Facebook and Goodreads.  All of that information is listed below.  When clicking on the link for this book the other books of his will be on that site and where to get them also.  So no more reading my review....get to clicking and experiencing this great author yourself!!!

5/5 Stars!!!
