| | Went with "no inspiring value". It's not even remotely in the same league as such wonderful books as "Where the Wild Things Are", "Ferdinand the Bull", "Wee Gillis", Russell Hoban's "Frances" books, the "Ramona" books, anything by Dr. Seuss, and on and on. Good children's books are about unusual characters doing interesting stuff, not agitprop saying to dream about interesting stuff without actually giving the kids such stories to mull over.
I've got a pretty good idea of what captured my own kids' attention growing up -- this wasn't it.
