Members Reviews:
Not as good as the original
Not nearly as good as the Hello Goodbye Window. As another review points out, it starts out interesting, but then gets a little long and rambling. I think the author is anything but a racist, but it certainly is frowned upon, these days, to write something like the main character's comment about her hair, with no context provided. I imagine the idea is to start a dialog between the reading adult and read to child about the topic in question. If you are a discerning parent/guardian, and willing to tackle a difficult topic, then there's no need to shun this book. It's something best left to parental discretion, though, and you might as well be aware of this content before buying. My son seemed engaged enough while reading this book but, overall, I would recommend The Hello Goodbye Window, over this sequel, simply because it's a better written, more interesting story.
Magnificent
Most excellent book. Very entertaining for young and old alike. I love the sense of association & feeling of belonging that it commences to the children.
Five Stars
