4 stars

Surprised I hadn't already done a review for this book. Just done a re-read and still enjoyed it, great illustrations look like they have been done by a child and that really adds to the reading experience.

If you love the movies and are expecting a book similar to that then prepare yourself to be disappointed, the basic idea from the book was taken for the movie.

This is well worth a read, especially if you have kids as there is some nice rhyming and a bit of violence.
