[return][return]Shrug. A cute idea but in practice I was sort of annoyed. Why did the workers just follow the crazy instructions? Sure it's a children's story but it destroyed my suspension of disbelief! And practically all the characters were male (until the passengers at the end) -- workers, mayor, farmers, etc., which just makes me think the writer is sloppy and not very thoughtful. And I admit that I'm not much of a fan of Tedd Arnold's illustrations. So, not a big hit for me.
