Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
The Selection Committee chose this title because of the bold, bright illustrations and the wonderful rhyme in the text. The story reflects a feeling universal to toddlers–impatience. The committee found elements of the story that both a child and parent or caregiver could relate to.
