Oh man, what a wild ride! The stories and poems in this book are so much fun to read and the pictures are the perfect compliment. I love that each one is so different - different lengths, different emotions, different main characters. This is a great book to keep next to a child's bed. You could read a long story, or a few short ones before sleep. You could open the book at random and pick any page to be amused. Or you could go looking for the emotion that you child is working through and there's a perfect poem to spark conversation. It would make a great gift, too!
