Well, the pictures are nice. But the story-oy.
Not worth buying. I read it, was disappointed, and gave to to the local little free library for kids to read.
And not worth keeping for my grandchildren.

Review
"An unusual, moving picture book featuring an engaging protagonist, imaginative artwork, and an adventurous spirit that should appeal to most children. A good choice for middle-to-large collections." --School Library Journal

Wondrous and surprising
Reviewed in the United States on 14 August 2019Verified Purchase
This book is not a typical children’s book. It’s like being inside someone else’s wondrous brain. It’s unpredictable and surprising every step of the way, it’s sensitive and so charming and exciting. It makes you feel like you’re a character in the book- the illustrations are so visceral. We first got this book from the library but then bought our own copy.
