This book is absolutely adorable and a silly little tongue-twister. Gave me a huge smile while I was feeling quite down :) It is definitely best read out loud!

This book is awesome! A tongue twister that's relatively easy to follow (in your hard, harder on your tongue), and it's visually pleasing to boot. It engages a lot of physical movements, so I will definitely be incorporating things into a physical, yoga based storytime.

Loved it! Fun to try to wrap your tongue around. The illustrations of the two friends frolicking are a joy.

Used this with some special needs classes; I read a line, and had them repeat. Of course, a few times I had problems reading it properly! It's amazing how much can be done just with the "ound" and "og" sounds.

The art was really nice, especially considering it was watercolor. The words really added nothing. This was billed as a tongue twister. But really it would have been better wordless. Or with different words. Still not bad, just not as good as it could have been. And I don't love watercolor.

Painful. This book will keep Spike from speaking for another year at least.
