Review:
hsing_mom recommended that I listened to the LibriVox recording of this book, as it was - as she put it - "A delightful book and a wonderful recordning." I have to agree on both accounts. It's a sweet little nothing of a book in the charming style of "Five Peppers" and "Seven Little Australians". An excellent comfort book, and one that I'll definitely be introducing to my children while they are still young enough to fully enjoy it.
