I read this book to my group of Head Start Kids who are a mix of 3, 4, 5 year olds. What they loved the most was the silliness of the pictures and the rhyming that has throughout the book. This would be a great book to give a student graduating from kindergarten. My students became bored with the storyline of the book because there really wasn't one. It would not fit into any theme in my curriculum, so if it was in my personal library, it probably wouldn't be read very much. It's a great book to do a "book walk" through. The illustrations were very child-friendly, and my students were more attentive when I made up my own words to go with the pictures.
