Customer Reviews

a classic

I'm so glad that this book was reissued. As a preschool director for many years, there are some books that have become classics, but hard to find. This has always been a delightful read with young children. Learning and understanding routines, while incorporating that into their own egocentric world, can be a challenging yet important part of early childhood development.

Classic Read

I love the cover of this book. Sturdy hard cover with red fabric binding. My 5 1/2 year old enjoyed reading it but was left looking for more at the end. Overall, it is a good classic read.

Remember, I'm not five...

This book is bound beautifully and my boys liked the premise of the story. I thought it was boring, but then, I'm not five years old...
