I can't say that I am ready to hand the Caldecott to this one but it is a GREAT book. It's funny and creatively drawn to life. I also like how the story really begins before the first page and ends way back on the dedication page in the back.
ReplyDeleteThis book is a lot of fun and sure to be popular with kids. Probably not a Caldecott book, but every library should buy it.
ReplyDeleteGreat book. Kids love it. I love the retro feel.
