This is a classic story most of your children will love. I say “most” as I have distinct memories of my childhood and being scared by the big machine at the end. Ha! But it’s entertaining with plenty of opportunity to practice your voice variety when reading aloud. 🙂
There’s also a little board book great for your youngest littles–it’s a shortened version of the same story.
