Often requested at bedtime. Sometimes I wonder if it's because it's so long. Occasionally when I'm trying to hurry up bedtime, I skip several of the sections in the back with no negative effect. All the "poems" are one or 2 pages, except the beginning one about fish, so this is easily accomplished (at least for an unsuspecting 2 y/o). This isn't as fun to read as Green eggs and ham and not what I had remembered from childhood, but he likes it, which I can't argue with.

I read his book while listening to Luis Miguel sing La Barca...I can't explain it - but it worked for me! The funny thing is that even in Spanish I knew it was a book that I had read so many times; really boosted my confidence that I understood this book as much as I did - am very sure I will read it again very soon!
