I managed to finish this. There were three errors that I noticed that should have been caught by an editor, which, for me, really diminished the book. I was also skimming it, so I wonder how many I missed otherwise. Sigh.

Gross and awesome.

Pretty cool!

I read this because I never had read it before and Andy was assigned this book for class. I wasn't all that impressed with it, and wondered what all the fuss was about. I guess I must be missing something!

I actually read the edition illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, but I'm having a hard time finding it on goodreads.

SO. GOOD.
