Opinion of book
This book is a beautiful book with a moral of wisdom being better than beauty. The content has no villains for little ones to copy and funny, smart names like Asphalt and Concrete. This book contains none of the content normal fairy tales have, like witches and evil stepmothers. This is a funny tale that you will not be able to put down if you get your hands on it. This book also stresses the point that God looks at the inside, not the outside. It is good for young and old alike.
