3 stars Interesting story. I enjoyed the epistolary style, but I could see how it may not resonate with young children. The story is really driven by the letters so it may be a bit confusing. The wording is often vague so I think it is suited for more advanced readers than very young ones….

3 stars This is an adaption of an episode from the TV series. A cute story with a very nice ending. I liked the moral at the end of the story about trying your hardest and doing the best you can. Simple story that is a bit repetitive, but still a good read.
