This book is overly long. It reads more like a book that should be spoken word then should be a written. There are times it feels like part of the story is missing and it’s letting the illustrations do the work. Which can work, but in a book this wordy it feels like a missed thought instead of purposeful. The other thing is the stereotypical southern style dialogue. It’s the colloquialism like wheat, cinnamon, cinnamon biscuits, etc that is not needed and take something away from the story. It is those colloquialisms that make it sound like Reese Witherspoon but at the same time this reads like a celebrity author not a real picture author.
