Hi everyone...
I went to Barnes and Noble and stood in the aisle and read the book... I have
to say it wasn't bad... and I didn't have high expectations at all...
It is a cute story that focuses on the message of inclusion.
Its not a Caldecott award winner thats for sure but its also not a bad book
to have around.
My advice is to not rush out and buy it but if you have requests for it or
come across it during your ordering go ahead and consider the purchase based on
your population, funds and needs
