Got my 5 year old daughter off school with chickenpox - trying to keep her amused and her mind off the itching. This one was a recent purchase that for some reason she'd always previously rejected when I'd suggested it. Well, she really enjoyed it and I thought it was hilarious! I foresee many repeat readings ... and that's just today 🤪😳😆
