I was greatly surprised how much I liked this book.  Most easy readers are meant to practice reading, and don’t really look at telling a good story.  That is not the case here.  This is a rebus reader (meaning some of the words are replaced by pictures).  It rhymes, and has a fully flushed cadence that never skips a beat.  The illustrations feel like they are from 2000, but it doesn’t matter, the story does not age (only the book cover).
