The text is fun, with alliterative writing and several sentences that are almost tongue-twisters. An abundance of interesting vocabulary makes this book unique and provides the reader with lots to think about.

I would strongly advise you to spend some time looking at the illustrations; they will surprise you and keep you entertained.
