Customer Reviews

Love a Great Trickster tale--and this is it!

Finally got this book, had been waiting for my little ones to get a tad older so they could really appreciate it! Loved it!! Very amusing, a very good read, excellent illustrations, just the right length too. Such a shame that this author has passed, she certainly had it all. I'll be purchasing the rest of her books shortly.
