I've had this book in my shelves for a bit now and decided to pick it up today. It is sweet, endearing, and sad. I am assuming the age range is 7 to 9 or 6 to 9, but I think any ages could enjoy this very short read. However I do wish there were more details, not as specific as some novels but just a bit more so that the story is more of a whole. I think a 6 year old or 7 year old would enjoy it more, but for it to be a child's book that could strecth across all ages, it needs to be a bit more than this. None the less though I am keeping it but more for my sisters than for myself.
