I really loved the illustrations in this book and all the colors that filled each page. There was a great story here, but I felt like it was meant for a bit of an older audience, as some of what it included doesn't mean as much to a younger child.
I'm glad though, that I did get to read it with my daughter and at least try to explain to her why some of the illustrations were set the way they were. Along, with why some of the writing, with different characters, meant so much more to them than others.
But, it was a bit difficult to get into the harder topics with my little one, not that it shouldn't take precedent. But, for a child it's a bit difficult when, at least on my behalf, I want her to enjoy the simplicity and innocence of what a child book should be for her. It was a nice read though, with a good message.
