A Great Read Aloud

I think my favorite books are the ones we enjoy together. This one was a quick read with all the essentials:* colorful characters such as 'Hold-Your-Nose-Billy' and 'Prince Brat'
*unusual, challenging, colorful words for little people - words like; flummox, cuff, pish-
posh, cutthroats,
* Humor - ya just wanna laugh sometimes
* Meaningful principles they don't realize they're thinking about like; justice, fairness,
kindness, loyalty, repentance, forgiveness, change, overcoming, perserverance etc.
It's a Newberry Award winning book for good reason. Neil and Anna liked it - now the Twins.
Bishop Daddy got home just in time to finish it together.
