    My children loved this book! Ages 3 and 5

    By SWonderling on July 10, 2016

    My children are ages 3 and 5 (almost 6) and they love both of these stories. They laughed throughout both stories and continuously pointed out different aspects of the pictures. They ask for this book to be read to them all the time. Highly recommend this book and hope that this author and illustrator continue to put out books.

    I love this book! Children of all ages will enjoy!

    I absolutely loved this book! I read it to my grandkids and they still cannot stop the giggles. There were so many surprises utilizing clever rhyming verse. I especially enjoyed the bonus book Crocodile Bath. It could be my favorite. Giving me two stories in one book was brilliant!

    Must-Have!

    By Whitterbug on July 10, 2016

    My daughter (4) loves it. Lots of giggles from this cute and clever book. It will be in our regular rotation of favorites.

    Great Book!
