When I requested this, I didn't expect a short chapter book for children. I thought I was getting a picture book, which I think would be a much better choice for these stories. There are only three illustrations. They are very nice. With more,I think it would greatly add to the book.
The stories, there are three of them, are funny. I liked the first best. It is about King Garnet and his legs that won't quit growing.
This could be a very good book with changes. I would rate this much higher if it were three books it more illustrations. The way it sits is just so-so for me.
I recieved a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
