This book was an unexpected delight. I didn't realize that it was such a classic when I first found it in an op shop. As an adult, I found myself laughing at the ridiculous situations and having to share them with my husband as they came up. This is a book I hope to read to my children some day so it can bring them the joy it brought me.
