As the back of the book says “They exist in everyone’s mind.” After reading it once, you will be happy and look forward to reading this book over and over to child.

4. The Rhymes and Rhythm are so fun and educational!

Through rhyme and rhythm, McGoon does a wonderful job at incorporating words that can challenge the reader without losing them. After reading this book, rather than setting the book aside, my child came up to me with an enthusiastic curiosity to learn more about the story. That is an achievement in itself! “Acting out mead will widen the void; / All of yourself and other destroyed. / Adding more bricks to the Tanglelows’ road. / Giving more reason for these creatures to goad.”

3. A perfect compliment to living in such a social media consumed world.
