RATINGS
CHILDREN:  Would be a fun one to read while it's raining outside. 

PARENTS:  Very interesting. A quick read for bedtime.

TEACHERS:  It gave me the idea to read this on the first day of school. It could introduce a community building activity or game.

WRITERS:  The simple language contributes to the tone of the book. Would be beneficial to "copy" and type into a Word document for study. 

WRITE-4-LUCK: Try writing a story about a time when you created something that you knew wouldn't last.

Keep on keepin' on...
