Cute juvenile book. The premise of the book was fun and innovative. Illustrations are good. It was really short though and I pretty much hated the abrupt ending. I imagine it is setting up another book but I think I would have preferred to have the story continue in the same book. I am curious as to what happens next. Probably a good length for young readers though.
