Fun stories that capture the soul of the original, and excellent illustrations paired with them. The perfect execution of a modern adaptation of a classic.

I like the book because the new character Carmen was based on war when a guy kept the dog in his pocket during all the hard times and I like how theirs a map of the forest on the back.
