Charming, humorous, but not lol and not resonant or poignant. ?áIn other words, imo, it's like most Pinkwater. ?áImo, the shorter the story the better. ?áThis is a little longer than a picture-book (like the Larry the Bear stories) and not quite as good....
Read in a Junior Great Book anthology (so it's possible I missed some pix and/or color, and I def. missed book design).
