This is a nice fractured version of the Mother Goose rhyme Hey Diddle, Diddle. I actually really liked the book. It was funny and much fuller than the original poem. I laughed a few times, and it seemed like that was the major goal of this story. Also, it had a nice theme of defying expectations and overcoming obstacles. Good read.
