Excellent uplifting tale for all ages to enjoy. Definitely a good book to read to young children aloud. Writing style is interactive for the child. Moral story about believing in dreams and self-confidence to follow you heart. Themes of truth, faith, forgiveness, and courage abound.

Another lovely book by Kate DiCamillo! Read it to your children! You can do lots of funny voices with this one if you are like me and enjoy that.

Even tho I am an adult there are some wonderful children's books out there and I love to read them. If my kids were younger I would have read this to them.
