Just finished reading this to my toddler and it is still a wonderful story. I managed to get copies of this series from England, and I'm grateful I did because the wonderful illustrations really add to this magical series. My plan is to read all of them to him before the height of summer hits us. He might not understand everything I'm saying but he loves the pictures, especially Oswin, who looks suspiciously like our cat hiding out behind the shelves. Love this book, highly recommended to readers of all ages.

Looking Back: We ended up reading the entire series and what usually happens for me is that I was a bit disappointed with the final book of the series. It didn't feel like enough of an ending after such a great series. I wanted a bit more than what we go but hey, I got the books from England, which means they have the original illustrations that the book was published with and I love these editions. My kid liked looking at the pictures too.
I'm waiting to see if Valente has a new book release coming soon. Fingers crossed.
