Although the tale told in this book is a great story with a good moral to it, the abrupt and confusing ending spoils the rest of the story by leaving the reader wondering what exactly just occurred. Most of the illustrations are a bit hokey, and appear to be randomly super imposed images that could have been presented in a cleaner manner consistent with a good children's picture book.
