I liked this book. It was a very easy read and kept me engaged the entire time. I thought it was a very sweet book and felt that the book could be related to real life situations

I would recommend this book to a child that was going to be experience a change in their family like gaining a new mom or dad. I would also read this book out loud to the class.
