We think that this book is repetitive and that the story was too slow. But some parts were quite funny. Even if we don't like this book , we can say that the subject is still universal because it talks about the difficulty to live in society. And this subject could happen nowadays. For us, the subject was easier to understand because the characters were animals. However this book is not written for the young children. ZOE & JESSICA 4째 3
