Customer Reviews

Best Of The Best!

This book is brilliant! It is a must have for every family. It is fun and simple, charming and delightful! I often read this book to my children and it never gets old. I cannot wait for another book from this clever author!

Fantastic book: Entertaining for kids, inspiring for adults

This imaginative story was very entertaining and fun to read. I really enjoyed it as a 40-year-old adult but it was my niece and nephews who adored it. It's powerful and timely message near the end was perfectly parsed-without a trace of piety. I never saw it coming-and neither will you. That's the best part. Very rarely will any book or movie have me laughing out loud and then tearing up the next moment. Bravo Mr. Jones!

Clever writing, wonderful illustrations, powerful message. Excellent!

Thanks to the author for putting together a very clever story with an uplifting message. The writing is like a mixture between Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, both of whom my kids adore. And the lesson at the end of the book was a very pleasant surprise. The whimsical illustrations work perfectly. I look forward to more from this author and illustrator. -gbatty
