Customer Reviews

Wonderful, sweet story

Ashley Bryan read this story to my second grade class at a school assembly. It was a wonderful story then and it has only gotten better over the years. I have shared this book with many young children during read-a-thons and at bedtime whenever I babysit. The story is fun to read for adults, younger kids will enjoy the short songs that make up the book, and everyone can appreciate the messege of revenge without cruelness.
