I remember my mom buying this book for my little brother when I was 9 and that I stole it and would hide reading it and giggling at all the silly things and thinking this great country did this silly things. I really enjoyed this book reading it over and over until it got lost in a move, and I was ecstatic when I found it again. Really a great book for kids.
