There's nothing new about a book based on actual events. However a children's book based on real characters and events is not found everyday. This book is compilation of actual events, no matter how unlikely they seem (the author was there!) In today's world of gadgets and electronic media, this book provides a wonderful alternative for a bedtime reading for preschoolers, or an enjoyable reading for primary schoolers. And don't rule out adults enjoying some wit sprinkled here and there.
