Building on itself like the song “Twelve Days of Christmas,” this short book will become a favorite of a boy here and there (especially one who likes to march, to pretend to be a soldiers, and to blow things up!). On the other hand, it will probably confuse many other kids. 🙂 There’s a lot left for imagination to fill, which isn’t always a bad thing! It just left me with questions. There’s no reason not to check it out for yourself, so go for it!
