First off this book is loooooonnnnnnnggggggg. Especially for a children’s picture book. It won the Caldecott medal in 1969 for the best illustrated work for children. It lives up to the hype. This was a very enjoyable folk tale about not being the smartest, or most learned person, but about being kind, and friendly. I thought this was very well done, and can see why the book is still around, even when it is older than I.
