This story is hilarious! If you like Lemony Snicket or other silly and clever books, you will love this! This book and the other two in the series are definitely worth buying!

I've heard this book so many times. It has so many puns that keep me listening to it as an adult, even though I found it as a child.

I got this to listen with my kids, and I think I ended up enjoying it more than they did! What a fun, silly, tangential romp of a story. Narrator was excellent and I'm thoroughly glad I listened!

A Jolly Good Time
