Summary:

 Evaluation: 

Appropriate grade levels for this book would be Kindergarten to 2^nd grade. I don’t believe I would use this book in my classroom because it is more for entertainment than educational. The story could be really entertaining for children, so I would only use it for a fun read aloud while we transition to a different activity.
