This is an alright story. I do not understand how it fits into the category of traditional literature. It was listed under that in the choices to pick from but I just don't see the correlation. There are no author's notes or cover on the book that I got from the library so I didn't find any information about it that way either. Overall, the story is good. It would be fun to share with students so they could get a good laugh at all the silly names that he has her use for everyday things. It also has very sweet illustrations which are nice to look at.
