If you are reading this to a child in the younger part of my recommended age range, just note that there are quite a few unfamiliar words. Even the older kids (and probably adults) will learn new vocabulary! It only makes the beautiful book that much richer. A second read will definitely help comprehension.
Lovely, lovely book!
