    " Eh... it was okay. I didn't like the drawings and the story wasn't amusing to me. I could see how a little bitty kid might find it amusing but there are so many better children's books out there I wouldn't buy this one or pick it up on my own for my child. I'm just not a big fan of stupid people who eat things they shouldn't lol. Also, if I ever read this to a child (which they'd have to make me) I'd feel the need to give a lecture on why you don't put things in your mouth you're not supposed to. "
