While the message is exemplary, I kept wondering why nothing more was mentioned about his blatant polluting and the effects it would have had on the pond. There is a quick mention that Mr. King's hobby of fishing was rarely successful, but that's it. The story felt a bit unfinished. But this is a delightfully illustrated book, with beautiful colors and adorable hand-drawn characters. In all, it is a nice addition to our library. Dec 14, Bridget R.
