Pretty good for an alphabet book.
It's cute, it's funny, and it's as engaging as an alphabet book can be for an adult.

Feelgood story where hard work pays off.
There's no deus ex machina, contrived kind of stuff here like many children's books have, which is great.

If you're good at something, it doesn't matter who you are. You don't have to be a specific kind of person to be good at something.
High quality for an alphabet book.
Given Steve Martin's ability to write, most of them are actually really good rhymes and have good meter, which is hard to find in standard children's books. I was amused.

Pretty pictures and well-written.
I wanted to hate this book, I really did. But I can't fault it for being well-written poetry with good rhymes, or for having great illustrations.
