This book is sweet, as most I Can Read Pre- Readers. Unfortunately, the format is a bit off. The story is also shorter than the ones we have purchased in stores. Finally, be prepared that the family has prayer at dinner and the book points out that family is a gift from God. If your family is not one of faith, you will want to skip this one.
