Title: Buy the paperback version, not the hardcover
Product review: My best friend has this book for her children and I loved it. I wanted to buy two copies, one for my children, the other for my son's preschool teacher. When they arrived I was MORE than disappointed. In this smaller format, it loses ALL of its charm as a children's book. 48 pages?!?!?! It's wordy enough and can be difficult to keep a small child's interest, but in the format of a young reader's book, it's near impossible. Could not be more disappointed to wait for this book to arrive and receive this nonsense in its stead. It should be mentioned further up in its description that it is small and not a charming picture book like its paperback counterpart. When you purchase a hardcover book, you expect it to be as good, if not better, than it is in paperback and more durable, you do not expect it to have most of its illustrations taken away and have it be 48 pages of young reader material.
