It's a longer version than might suit a single bedtime reading, but comprises five easily digestible chapters. The book is unusually typeset in two columns which, as it turns out, is ideal for reading out aloud so you can scan ahead and adjust to the appropriate theatrical voice or facial expression. The illustrations are a major treat; rich and detailed. The sort of book you should read sitting snuggled up side-by-side with a child so they can absord the impressive full-page pictures while you bring the story to life.
