Fantastic book. My four year old has had me read this book so many times she knows it word perfect. The rhyming is great. So easy to read and enjoy as an adult too. A real classic like their other books, funny and well illustrated.

My 2 year old daughter loves all of these books - very imaginative stories - great illustrations - pages contain lots of detail she really enjoys.

It's quite a bit too old for my daughter, but she likes to point at the birds and things and finish the rhymes she can remember. She'll enjoy it more later.
