This story has everything I enjoy in a children's book: good story line, some adventure,family themes, and great illustrations. The younger reader will be enthralled with the story when the book is read out loud and older children will be just as interested when they read the book themselves. The colorful illustrations are full of detail and I can envision children spending a lot of time looking at the pictures and finding lots of things to talk about with their parent(s).

My 2.5 year old loves this - and it's quick enough that when she says "read it again," it's a pleasure.  Love the illustrations and it's a great idea for a story.  You need to really look at the pictures to catch everything!

The story and illustrations are fun and attractive.  I liked all the characters and my kids talk about them a lot because they had me read this book to them many times.  It's a fun book and could lead to a lot of good conversations and opportunities to teach the children.

This book is a lot of fun to read and the illustrations are above and beyond what I expected. A nice little bonus to having your child read this book is that there are hidden animals and items in each picture for them to find, so when they are done reading, they can go back through the book and find something else to do for a few minutes. The author also included discussion prompts at the end of the book that I really liked. I thought this story was very cute and had a nice message about not giving up and believing in yourself that all kids could benefit from. The text was a bit small on the Kindle fire, but you can click on the picture to enlarge it, so that isn't a huge issue. This was a fun book for bedtime or anytime and I enjoyed watching my children's reaction to it. Very well formatted.

This was a fun and simple story to read, but apart from the wonderful illustrations, in the way of a story, there wasn't much to take away from it. I would imagine kids below the age of 7 would enjoy this for all its colourful illustrations, but if we're talking about story, I don't think it has enough substance to maintain an older child's attention. It's a shame the story wasn't as demonstrative as the vocabulary. All the same, it was still an enjoyable read.

Ten Gallon Bart is a cute book with beautiful illustrations.  It comes in a nice hardcover that should be able to withstand some abuse.  I enjoyed the unusual style artwork. It gave the book a special kind of feel.  It's a fun book that kids can enjoy and since they are all animals, I don't think kids will read too much more into it like we adults might.  Yes, Bart might be a thief, but he's also a dog messing with a bull.

I think this is will make a great addition to any young child's library.  If not for the story, I would definitely get it for the illustrations.  If your child can't read yet, they can still enjoy the unique artwork.  I would recommend this book.

My kids and I all love this book! The text and the illustrations perfectly complement each other, giving the story an old-fashioned feel and lots of humor. The quirky family members are a treasure. I highly recommend this fun story!

We went to a reading at the library and initially checked the book out from there. My daughter enjoyed it so much that I decided to buy it for Christmas. It is a fun rhyming story with great illustrations that really appeals to her. She often asks for it and she calls the monsters on her pjs "onsters"  :-)

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, both the fun story and the very colorful, clever illustrations. It's a delightful read for kids of all ages.  (Parents, too!)  Hint: Look in each drawing for the running streetwise commentary made by the little ant. He's super cool...and he knows it! When it comes to keeping it real, Ms. Ellen's Got Swag!

My almost 4 year old has recently become entranced with pirates, and this book has been a big hit at our house. The illustrations are wonderful, the story is witty and fun to read out loud for parents, and it's neither too realistically gory nor too white-washy as far as what real pirates were like. We like singing the song at the end too. Great for any kid that likes pirates (or even those who don't--it's just a fun story).
