Thoughtful book
Although the book is meant for children it's worth reading for adults.

Although the book is meant for children it's worth reading for adults.
Decent book. Well written. More appropriate for YA readers, but as an adult I can still appreciate it. Wish I could give it 3.5 stars instead of 4 (or 3), but rounded up to 4 because I probably would have liked it more in my youth.
