I love this play. It's sweet, fantastical, and it captures the spirit of the original book. It's aimed at anyone who likes picture books, which include people like me. It has the same theme and central characters as the original that John Bianchi illustrated, but greatly expanded and enriched. When Jim Warren's production of it premiered in Toronto at Young People's Theatre, it became an immediate hit, with adults competing with preschoolers for seats.
