The story is passable as a valuable life lesson; I wasn't a fan of the art style though. Usually that shouldn't be a factor with me, but I couldn't get over the crude Ed, Edd, Eddie likeness.
This was pretty cute the first time around, but my nieces tired of it quickly. I was glad we checked it out of the library rather than buying it.

36 months - read while visiting a library while placing a geocache. Strange story idea, a bit funny, better eat your veggies!!!
