Even though the illustrations seen nice, the confusing plot is quite unfortunate. Children's books should have a purposeful plot along with great illustrations. Hopefully the author will rewrite the story so that it better suits its target audience.

Great Review! ?

I don't mind there not being a discernible plot, but it's a big shame about the grammatical errors; you are totally correct in that books for children should be edited even moreso than an adult's so children don't grow up with incorrect ideas about grammar.

Thanks Ms Tri. I think we should begin teaching our children from a young age.

It's really annoying when I find children books with incorrect grammar. I think it's more important to professionally edit childrens' books than adults' books. Nice review.
