I don’t get it. The art is cute, and the last page saved it from getting one star.

Henry asks his parents what they were like when they were small. The book starts out normally enough with his mother explaining that she was called Dot because her full name, Dorothea, was too big for her. But then things get creative! Dot was so small she wore the same shoes as her doll. She swam in the birdbath. She jumped rope with a piece of yarn. Her bed was a mitten. Her father built her a doll house, and she lived in it. At the end of this story from his mother, the two of them agree that one of the reasons that his mother looked forward to growing up was to share stories with a child of her own.
