It's cute, but there's not much to it. The poetry is silly. It's just kind of a middle-of-the-road book.

Not to be confused with Challah bread.
The massive amount of text is rather overwhelming, though. In a spread, the right side might be a puppy, and nothing else. A fairly good picture of a puppy, a spaniel of some kind. Not photorealistic or anything, but definitely identifiable as a puppy. Cute. And the left side is just this wall of text. Given that it was published in 1938, we've come a long way as far as children's literature is concerned.

Textbook deus ex machina ending.
An inane, contrived story. They suddenly decide to move to a larger apartment. The end.
