I whizzed through the book, I drizzled through the drawings, I sizzled and word swam and got hooked.
The writing is plain and the story gets moving.
The drawings feel alive and the characters are EYE catching.
And the ending is perfect – a little breakfast surprise that makes the whole book glow!
Wonderful!
