i really went back and forth on this one. hamilton's style is dizzying, and when i am convinced that's on purpose, it can be really amazing, but sometimes, i'm just dizzy.

My children absolutely adore this book. Reading literature is so important to the development of a child's mind, and I cannot think of thing I would rather do then sit down to read to them in the evenings. Imagination and growth are so vital in those so young.
