This story sounds so fun! I'll have to read it soon. I'm sure you are correct when you say children and adults would both love it. I cracked up just looking at the cover picture! Thanks for the suggestion.
The humor in the story makes books like this so appealing to young children. It would also serve as a good introduction to a discussion comparing humans and animals. Good choice!
