### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of our family's favorites
*by T***S on December 9, 2023*

My daughter and I take turns picking out her bedtime books and it's deflating when she picks something that is painfully dull to read (I'm talking to you Pete the Cat). I read it to her anyway and put my all into the voices because I love her, but I won't lie... it kills me a little more each time I have to read them. But when she picks a book I love, like this book, I do a little happy dance (in my mind). Educational and hilarious. Not to mention colorful, which only adds to the joy. Get. This. Book. (and the sequels)
