"There are few stories that I truly enjoy reading or listening to. Though this is considered a children's story, I enjoyed it and would prefer it above "adult" stories, as most of them are written to fill a person's mind so full of profanity and/or vulgarity and/or violence, stuff I really don't have a taste for." — epaulmjr (5 out of 5 stars)
