Customer Reviews

This is a favorite!

My very independent, yet very needy, 3 year old loves this book. For her, it's in the Top 5 of all the books we've read. And, she quotes the title daily! It's a cute book. There are no great moral lessons, thoughtful narration, or amazing illustrations, but it's simple, fun, and relatable for younger kids. I definitely don't mind reading it over and over.
