COMMUNITY REVIEWS

silly, but not compelling submitted by camelsamba on August 2, 2011, 10:38pm I'd give it a 2 (didn't find the storyline very compelling) but my boys would give it at least a 4, so we'll let it stand as a 3. Maybe I should have read it aloud first, rather than reading on my own - perhaps I would have enjoyed it more had I gotten their reactions.

funny and very nonsensical submitted by fairytale on August 8, 2013, 8:03pm This story was kind of funny and very nonsensical. An original and unique story, that's for sure!

quirky and creative submitted by jackson.sarah.jean on November 14, 2014, 1:36pm I read this book with my boys 6 and 4, we enjoyed the creative story and felt it was well worth our time. We were engaged throughout the whole book!

Good for fans of cloudy with a chance of meatballs submitted by sumisood on August 19, 2020, 9:36pm I thought it was just okay but my kids (4 and 8) loved it and wanted to read it over and over again! Cute way to pass on the message that rules separating communities are often just based on nonsensical tradition.
