I'm a dad, living in an undisclosed location with my wife and son. We read books, among other things.
Rating: 7/10 Short, but funny. I don't have a lot to say about this that won't spoil it, but I think it has poor re-readability value which is unfortunate because I absolutely did laugh out loud with joy when I read it for the first
Rating: 10/10 I love the design of this book, it's fun to have a book written in the second person. Reading it out loud is such a pleasure. Funny, interactive, and the format works so well. The art is nothing special that makes you say "wow&

Rating: 3/10 Who likes bananas this much? Was this sponsored by Dole? It feels like propaganda from Big Banana. I like bananas just fine but this person is way, way over the top about bananas. The art is good, but there's no plot or anything. Just a
