This is a charming, very simple chapter book for a new reader. Jonathan Auxier has a real skill for crafting sentences that are simple and beautiful at the same time, making this ideal for a read-aloud as well. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series!

I really love Jonathan Auxier's books. This was unique since it is a very short chapter book geared toward early elementary readers. This would make a fantastic read aloud for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Short yet packed with the feel of a longer book. I would really like to use this as a read aloud in my library for the younger kids. Will definitely be purchasing this one.
