The illustrations are attention-getting and unique. However, the book has a clumsy layout for storytime, with long-ways illustrations that cannot be easily turned the right direction while reading to a group. The plot felt formulaic and a bit too obviously didactic for my comfort, although there were some clever word images and turns of phrase.
