Some words don't make sense but they are what makes the book. The book is entertaining because kids like rhymes. My daughter wants me to read it multiple times a week.

Great for reading with kiddos! Fun and engaging!
Derived From Web , Dec 29, 2021
A genius is named Aaron Zenz. I ordered this as a gift to be read to my granddaughter and was so impressed with the fun story and bright illustrations that I ordered 5 more to give to friends who read to children in their families. It's a hit. The Cast Bios in the back are a brilliant addition to the already hilarious story and artwork. I have ordered the plush toys from MerryMakers and am excited to receive them. I was happy to find this book by an author. !

I like the play on words, but my 3 yo granddaugher can't fully appreciate that aspect yet. She likes when we hiccup as we read it.

Unexpected hit with the kiddos
Derived From Web , Apr 6, 2021
I collect children's books and I love reading them. I trust my friend's taste in children's books after she recommended this book. I bought it and read it to some children that I tutor and they loved it. It's hard to do justice to the pictures that an online camera can take because the tutoring is online, and they can't see the pictures that I really liked. They like the book. The kids were between the ages of 6 and 9.

Hiccupotamus made my LO bored a lotamus

The rhyming is weak with this one, thank goodness for the illustrations. The lazy rhymes made me and my LO yawn and could have been a cute story.

Not a fan
Derived From Web , Oct 12, 2020
We did not attempt to read this to our child. It seems like it is strung out. It's hard to say the words. Similar concept to a book. The words are funny. It seems too long. I got bored reading it as an adult. There is a returning book.

Completely unusable due to format.
Derived From Web , Oct 9, 2020
I bought the book for my son to read on the go because I loved it so much, I've read it before. There is no way to make the formatting bigger. It tells you to double-tap for zooming in. Double-tapping does nothing. I can't read the words unless I hold them six inches from my 2020 eyes, which makes it difficult for my son to read with me. You can't change the two pages at a time. Very disappointed. I remember the story being great. A paper copy is a great buy.

Granddaughter loves the book!

The book was great for our 2 year old granddaughter. She asks me to read it when I visit their home. I might have to have a copy in my house.
