I liked it. I could see reading it during storytime and having a lot of kids relate to not being heard. I understand people find the end weird where a tree just fell and a cat talked out of nowhere but, meh, it is ok to be weird in a book or have a cat talk for no reason. The part I did not like was the older kid's speech bubbles being emojis and such. When respecting one child's voice we don't have to disrespect older kids' voices.

Why did the cat talk? And what caused the tree to fall down?

A cute book about how no one listens to the youngest of the family.

I really loved the illustrations and this book has so much potential, but that gets totally lost in the second half of the book. Didn't stick the landing.
