I have been reading this title to Mark this week.  He has enjoyed it just "okay".  It's not his favorite.  I can tell because he doesn't ask for it to be read at all other reading times during the day like he has previous titles.  In fact, today before nap he asked for me to read Ask Mr. Bear. 

Mark says "thank you" at each time in the book that the little girl should have said "thank you".  I have so enjoyed seeing him understand the feelings of the characters in the book.  When the little girl leaves her purse on the bus and is sad, Mark said "oh" with a little sad face.  When the bus driver returned the purse he said "yeah" along with clapping hands.    It is neat to see him really understand and "get it" from the book.  

On each page he enjoys pointing out the Mommy and the Mommy's purse, the girl and the girl's purse. 

*I* really like this book and I think in time Mark will too.  When the older children saw that I was reading this book to Mark this week, they all said "Oh please read it to us"
