You know what? I remember reading this for school in fourth grade! I was in the highest reading group (you know what? I'm just saying that I always hated the reading groups because I felt bad because everyone knew everyones reading group and it was sad. it was like being with people of your smartness factor...anyway.) 
 So, I remember that I HATED this book. Like I pretended to be reading it when I really wasn't. It was kind of sad, because I still did good on all the worksheets, but anyway. It kind of makes me sad, because this has a really sweet story, and I think that now I would appreciate this story way more, because it really does have a good story line to it, and if I had read it now I think I would have enjoyed the plot more...I was kind of peticular child.
