Customer Reviews

One of our family Favorites!

This is one of my 6 year old's most frequently requested bed time reads! I love getting to read it because we can relate some of the themes and morals of the story to our native lawn project and challenging the status quo while being neighborly. We absolutely love this book the themes! We also love all the references and 'easter eggs' in the illustrations.
