Ratings and reviews

Always loved this book. My mom and oldest sister used to read it to me until I learned how to read. It is so awesome!

I remember reading this in bed when I was in kindergarten. Love this book and I really love the movie and I still love them both to this day. 💖💖💖📚

This book helped me learn to read.
