This book is intended for children 2 to 3 years old. The language of the book is simple, and I feel that children over the age of 3 may be unchallenged by this book and find it to be boring. The plot of the story is almost inexistent. Perhaps inexistent isn't the correct word... a story-line does take place, however, it's rather simple and very unexciting.
I more than likely wouldn't offer this book in my classroom for 2 different reasons: 1. It has a religious element to it (it mentions the Christian holiday Easter) and 2. It's simple language would more than likely not be something my students would find interesting. The only way I may have this book as a option in my classroom is if some students really struggle with reading and need a simpler book to read (I can see this being a possibly in a Kindergarden classroom).
