Cute idea. Used this with a class, although I really wish they had more of a chance to see the illustrations. My favorite illustration is the raccoon with his comfy setup in the tree.

Really loved this story for its simple text and surprising story. This book would be great to use to show how your thinking can change while reading a story.

I think those kids who feel they always get blamed for something they didn't do will latch onto this book. I felt the simplicity of the text was not as strong as the story through the illustrations.

June 2016 - a funny and sweet story where a lot is in the illustrations - it rewards attentive readers. Ben totally enjoyed it and keeps choosing it again and again.

Love how the pictures tell an important part of the story. Delightful illustrations with some silhouetted that are very interesting.

I love the illustrations in this one. It's a charming tale of a little boy who takes his little sister's stuffed rabbit and gets in trouble for it. When it goes missing again, he is thought to be the culprit, but then his stuffed raccoon, his boat, pirate and the rabbit all disappear. You will have to read the book to find out who the real thief is.

This simple story was greatly enjoyed in our house. The illustrations and text captured the personalities and tale wonderfully.
