A cute, short adventure for early chapter book readers. The illustrations are well-done. The plot is fairly well-developed for an early chapter book. The characters are cute and fun to follow in the book. Readers who like animals, magic, fantasy, and adventure will enjoy reading this book. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE.
