This is a short and sweet story about Jimmy. He has a song in his heart and he knows how to fix anything. He also uses a horse and buggy, so it's set in the past. People like Jimmy as he makes their lives move smoother.
The illustrations are fantastic. I appreciate the color of Irma Wilde. She has come up with another wonderful little story.
The kids gave this little book 3 stars as well.

The story was... not so good, let's just say. The art is cute, yet... nothing to write home about, yet bumped it up one star!

I really liked how upbeat and positive this book is. The art was so pretty to look at, and my child couldn't get enough. It just felt like it ended rather abruptly. I wish it was longer! :)
