A fun story with the artwork of a master artist!! I picked up this book for my class and I will be reading it with them. The story is great and the artwork is Superb. Peter Lyons tells a wonderful tale and Palmer Murphy ( no relation ) delivers masterful artwork. I recommend it for all bookshelves especially if you have children or you’re a teacher.

This book is so much fun to read!
This children’s book is so beautifully written and illustrated. I hesitate to say children’s book, because myself as a mother, loved it. It will definitely be a classic in our family.

An Instant Favorite
This is a book your children will read to their grandchildren. An instant classic filled with prose children respond to and the kind of illustrations they like to sit and look at over and over again even if they can’t yet read themselves. From the minute it arrived my kids have been asking me to read it to them every night and have practically memorized it already. A family tradition in the making similar to “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas”.
