Notes:
cute illustrations and even a good story except for the cannibal and pirates -- what 3yo needs to hear about that?

[Taylor Darst · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is such a fun adventurous book. The kids love trying to guess what will happen next.

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

I must be missing something. Sort of The Adventures of Baron Münchausen I guess. But the theme seems to be that drudgery is ok, so long as you can hear or tell stories. I think children will learn that lesson soon enough... I'd rather give them hope that they can actually *change* the cause of the drudgery.

BEAUTIFUL illustrations. but some are a little more intense than a kid should probably be seeing. Same with some of the writing (eg. mentions of a princess duck being taken for "slavery, or worse", cannibals, pirates)
