Both of my children LOVE the story.  My 5yo daughter was so excited to hear the story of a little girl who dreams of becoming a chef and my son was excited to listen to all of the different green foods that she uses in the recipes.  The story is very entertaining and the illustrations are are gorgeous and colorful. There are several recipes included from the story - we can't wait to try them out - especially the "Cricket Cupcakes."  Many of the recipes are Gluten Free, Vegan, and/or Vegetarian.

I love that I get to share one of my favorite childhood stories with both my kids, as the flip actions engage both kiddos who are a couple years apart.

I heard a lot of my friends talking about this book and was interested. It seemed a bit high in price to me, but we used a coupon and a gift card which made it seem more reasonable. My children loved the story and got so into it. We purchased it yesterday and this morning they were so excited to come downstairs to find Elfie (our current name, we haven't decided for sure so I am waiting to record it in the book). It helped a bit with some behavior and fighting issues. Although the illustrations in the book were not quite as good as I had hoped for, the fact that my children love it and are having a good time with it makes up for that. i would recommend this book to people with small children.

My children really enjoy fables and this one is particularly lovely.  The dynamic between all of the characters is subtle, but hit home for my son and daughter who can be best friends and best enemies and so the story spoke to them on a personal level.

My kids loved this story. They were excited to read it when we first got it and have asked for it to be re-read a few times now so you know that they must have enjoyed it.

I came across this story - but by a different illustrator and went looking for a copy. I'm glad I found this more Jewish version. It's a great story with a wonderful message for my two boys to hear. Although I'm not Jewish, my husband is, and I like the Yiddish flavor of the text and pictures.

This story is a great read for both children and parents. It's cute and interesting enough to hold parental interest while very enjoyable for the children.
It's an excellent book for practicing reading aloud with elementary school aged children.
My son wants to read more of the series.
It also shipped and arrived much more quickly than expected.
I received this book at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.

My four year old and 1 year old love these books more than the fairy tale/cartoon type of books and I love that they are learning when I read it to them.

My four year old boy absolutely loves this story as does my eight year old daughter. It's a fun story for any age. My favorite part of the day is reading this story to my kids before they go to bed. It's got a great flow and is a ton of fun.

My kids and I love this story. I can't tell if it was the plot, the jumpy monkey or the illustrations that entertained us, but it was fun. It starts with an ordinary day when a kid comes back home from school. And when facing the clutter in his room the kid finds himself in the imaginary lost toys land.

Not to spoil the end, I'll just say that in order to get back home he needed to take responsibility and clean up the mess. The lovely illustrations are supporting the story and the quotes on the newspaper the monkey reads are insightful.

My 2 boys have both loved this book for the last couple years with it's vibrant pictures and fun story.  They ask for it at least once a week, and it's tolerable for adults as well :-)

We picked it up when the older was just 2, and he loved it from the beginning, and still loves it now several years later.

Both of my children truly enjoyed the imagination and fantasy told in this book.  I cannot tell you if it is a great all time book until
we have read it 50 times and the kids still want to read it again.  As a parent its fun to let my kids see that everything can be
an adventure, I just have to keep the little one away from the dog bowl.
