By	Stephanie E. Weiss (NY, MA, Ireland.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was appalled when a friend showed this book and I realized it was published in 2001. It is racist (there are only white faces

5.0 out of 5 stars The kids love it!
As a school counselor I made sure all of the teachers in the elementary school where I work had a copy. Each day they select a part to read to their classes.
