Method of Moving the Reader to the Next Page In this book, the author uses question marks at the end of each page. The children will want to know badly what happens next. If it keep making children turn the page, the children will not stop in the middle of the book and finish it.
My Overall Opinion I think this book is very suitable to 5-6 years old children. The book is not very violent, doesn't teaches bad things but teaches them a lesson. Also, the book has pictures, short sentences, rhyming words, etc and children just love pictures.
