Mom's Favorite

I never grew tired of reading this book to my children. Am sending copies to my nephews but I can't part with the original because it is my favorite.

Great Childrens Books

The Author Bill Peet has the gift to spark the imagination of all children. His stories are amazing. There are over 30 kids books by him and I recommend them all!Smokey (Sandpiper Books)

Wonderful verse, but politically incorrect

This is a fun read - I enjoy reading verse, and this flows nicely and doesn't feel forced. But there are sections that would now be considered politically incorrect. Combine it with "The Caboose is Loose" for a young train lover.

Ingenious story with enchanting drawings.

It's a delight to read and to share this story with young ones. It's now a favorite of ours from the Bill Peet cannon. Though a child in the sixties, I was completely unaware of Bill Peet's work and 'Smokey' was the happy introduction to this author and artist.

An enjoyable book to read again and again

My son and I love Bill Peet books. The author seems to have a terrific mix of humor, creativity and good artwork. This book is wonderful. The rhyming text is enjoyable to read. My son talks about things he sees in the artwork which he doesn't do with most picture books. Am really glad I picked up this book.
