Title: Great book, but get the audio tapes too!
Review: This is a 5 star book based on its own merits. However, it becomes a 10 star book when you also play the audio tapes to students. I just can't get over the great voicing of the story -- it's very inspirational to use both.This is also true with Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux.However, let me add that the books are not in a series: they are completely different in character. This author makes the characters come alive and become such close friends -- particuarly the mouse in Despereaux. This book requires a more mature child than The Tale of Despereaux. In this book you will roll on the floor laughing with the young girl and her dog.John DunbarSugar Land, TX
