I loved this new book by Carlton Mellick. I read it in one sitting and was proud to note that it reads easy for my four year old son as well. He especially liked the illustrations which were done by the world renowned Food Fortunata! The characters are not at all two dimensional and the main character strikes out as being someone every either knows or has known. This book had me awestruck and laughing at the same time, and that is something that is in itself a rarity.
