Was not as magical as I thought. The mom was annoying as fuck. I was not having a good time reading it. I was slogging through the pages. Not loook forward to reading it. It was like punishment. I noticed myself skimming the pages. It was horrible. I’m no longer the target audience for this.

I liked the concept, I just thought it was boring. I also found the characters from the movie a lot more endearing.

This was one of my most favorite books as a kid. I would read again to my kids, but secretly enjoy it all over again.

Mrs. May looked back at her. "Kate," she said after a moment, "stories never really end. They can go on and on and on. It's just that sometimes, at a certain point, one stops telling them."

I read this out loud to the kids. The story was interesting but it was kind of a bear to read out loud and a little anticlimactic.

Started reading to Máximo. Finished it myself. A great read aloud but quite archaic language.
