Why I love it …
Hendra and Linnet have their very young audience squarely in mind at all times and know what tickles a little one's funny bone.

Why will kids love it?
Every element is super kid-friendly -- from the map endpapers to the brightly colored illustrations of wacky characters to the funny story about the familiar wee dance.
