After hearing my own sons repeatedly say the oldest child's name in the book, I had to buy the book to see what they were talking about. I really liked the story and the "why" behind the oldest child's name.

Fun to read book
A good multicultural early elementary or preschool book using repetitive, rhythmic language presented with humor. Highly recommended for teachers.
