My eight-year-old son read this book to our foster kittens. He said it was a good story, except that the main character turned into a 'drama queen' at the end, and that ruined the book.

WTF did I just read? This book was HORRIBLE! Basically, kid has a wonderful time with his father on a Sunday afternoon only to wake up and determine it was a dream. What does that mean? The father is an absentee father who does nothing with his kid? Wouldn't it have been better to have the kid actually doing that with the father??? Just a stupid book!
