Beautiful pictures, great story line. Laughed and smiled.

Beautiful illustrations and such a great story line, I was laughing and smiling as I read about hard times as well. Such a cute book. I can’t wait to give this to a daughter who takes everything apart and makes messes like Beatrice. Loved this cute book for girls and boys alike.
