This would be more interesting than a list of bullet points than a book.

Papa Bear, to his credit, realizes that he's done something wrong before it's pointed out to him by Sister Bear, so he's able to take her criticism well.

Seriously, I never really thought about the universe of Thomas the Tank Engine until I read this book.

Maybe the king needs to be taught a lesson, but The Lord of the Forest just gets to do whatever he wants because he's magical.

The framing device for the story basically lampshades the fact that the story has a weird ending, which is even weirder.

Very repetitive. I certainly couldn't read this to my kid because it would drive me crazy.

This is another book where nothing really gets resolved on a permanent basis. That's the kind of thing that will build into a cycle.

The best part: “'What is booty, Papa?' Asked Sister.”

An odd way of thinking about things, and also really long and boring, especially for such a brief story.

Two separate people have loved each other from a distance and never actually had a conversation, but they're in love. Hopefully it works out at the end. It doesn't really say.
