Update: Third reading. We wanted something that FELT GOOD to read. Again, forgot how funny it was.

Update: Second reading. Kiddo enjoys it! Despite the angelic main character, it's a good little story. Above all, I forgot how funny this is. Very dry humor.

First reading's review:

I read this to my daughter. She's only 16 months old, so no more than a word or two could have sunk in, but we're getting the pattern of reading at night instilled.

This is a sweet and innocent book. A bit too sweet, perhaps. But the antiquated wording and speech help to bring interest. I enjoyed the cantankerous grandfather. I read him in a slow, low, and mostly bemused voice and imagined him quite vividly from his descriptions.

It's altogether a charming book that got some real chuckles out of me. Perfect for kiddos or perhaps some adults who need some life lessons in an easy-to-swallow form.
