Rating:  - Whipping, guns, and killing
This book contains references to concepts I would rather not expose our young kids to. There is a mother cow who is running from a fox because she thinks the fox will "kill kill kill" her calf.

Rating:  - One of my favorite books
This was one of my favorite books growing up and now it is my boys' favorite. They make me read it to them every night. This arrived in good time and perfect condition.
Rating: - Children's book/lots of rhythm
I'm giving this a book a 5 star rating.
It captured the attention of my children.
It has a fast and exciting pace and rhythm...

Sweet ending.
Great book to read to perk up a young reader crowd.
