The illustrations are unfortunately pretty generic, which might detract from its popularity, but otherwise, this is a fine reader to recommend to kids who have liked the Biscuit series and Mittens series.more There is really not much at all to the plot, but there is more richness to the language than can normally be found in a level 1 reader. Sentences repeat and build upon one another, sometimes using the same word to convey different shades of meaning, as in these lines from chapter one: Kiss you. Though the short sentences make the text feel a bit stilted at first, there is an artistry to the way the author uses language. The conflicts in the story are regular everyday occurrences - spilling milk, and getting stuck under a chair - and everything resolves happily in no time at all. The story is not only very basic, but its subject matter is also very preschool-oriented. This sweet early reader is geared toward the youngest beginning readers.
