Pros

A verified purchaser, Doris L Warren, rated this book five stars because she bought it for her children last year and she had been searching for a new copy for her grandchild. She was happy to find a copy on Amazon for a great price. It was a great reading aid, and fun as well. Be aware that the inside pages are in black and white, unlike the cover. This book brought back precious memories, and it will be sure to create even more. She would recommend it to anyone with a young child. Another verified purchaser also gave her opinion about this book. The book she had sat with her grandson over and over again reading this book. It was definitely one of his favorites, and to see images of his own ethnic background was a plus. She was thanking Mrs. Oliver for bringing this gift to the world of children's literature.[4]
