Review:
This is a great book that I have rediscovered with my children after a few decades of not seeing it. I was very excited when my daughter brought it home one day. Most of the story has faults in it if you are looking at it from a facts side of things but you just don't. You see a wonderfully written story and to quote the back 'Jam packed with jokes and jubilation.' It is nice to read a story about a town getting together for a town meeting and working together to solve the joint issue. Sometimes the old ones really are the best ones.
Rating: 5 out of 5
