My son loved this story, wanted it read to him and listened to it by himself, holding the book so often that he eventually memorized the story & would correct me if I read it and missed a word. He then took interest while listening himself to looking at the words & thus long before going to school or any formal "teaching" taught himself to read (with this & other books). Remarkable & I believe achievable by any reasonably smart child. Frees a child to painlessly learn to read by osmosis, as it were. This was his all time favourite book. Highly recommended. (tf)
