My whole family loves this story! The illustrations are very detailed and I didn't pick up on the clues till a few pages in as to what was happening. It is such a sweet story that makes you happy. It has an interesting and soothing rhythm - it doesn't rhyme but flows really well. I love how the hardcover version has the names of the dinosaurs and cars on the front & back inside covers (I am unsure if the paperback or board book versions have this).
