Personal Review/Selection rationale: I found this title at the website for Picture Window books. Although the reading level is only 3.2, it is illustrated by a reputable illustrator and could possibly be a winning combination of engaging text at a level that is reachable by some third grade students. It would also be a desirable read aloud in the classroom and a positive addition to a Media Center or classroom library.
