I purchased this book for my brother to read to my niece and nephew and for them to enjoy as they grow older. The reasons that I chose this book are because the story is almost totally comprised of words that start with a "W". This makes the book, when read aloud, like a giant tongue twister! There is a rhythm and flow that will appeal to children and stay with them creating memories and it has the added bonus of aggravating my brother as it is a bit hard to read out loud.;) I've suggested it to others as well since it is such a fun story book.
