Customer Reviews

Great, if you don't mind 20 readings a week... :-)

My 3 year old daughter picked this one up at the library completely randomly, along with 5 or 6 other picture books. We read it at least 40 times in 3 weeks (and barely touched the others). I'm looking to buy it now because it seems unfair to keep renewing it. She thinks it is hilarious, especially the ending. It didn't take long before she was reciting the whole thing with me, word-for-word. I think I'll pick up the Can I Have a (stegasaurus/t-rex) stories while I'm at it, since she liked this one so much.

Fun, colorful fantasy

What's Ms. Johnson gonna do? Okeydokey, you can extrapolate the ending, but the intended audience will not mind. Action, humor, and hugely colorful illustrations. The story time crowd will enjoy this one, although I keep wondering why it reminds me of the mouse and cookie thing.
