This book is downright wonderful. I've pretty much had an obsession with it since I first read it. It's completely original, for there's nothing else I've seen even remotely like it. The illustrations and images are fantastic. The characters - Ninja, Cowboy and Bear - are soo lovable and unique (which pretty much makes the book). And, of course, the moral is undeniable. Something every child needs to learn. The clever wit in the book (both in words and pictures) makes it a joy (and also makes me laugh every time I crack it open). The game is a totally uniqe thing to have in a book, and is so great. You can really see the love put into this book. I don't think I can say enough good things about it!!
