 I didn't anticipate the ending to be quite the way it was. This story is more akin to a folktale, carrying a moral for future generations. I think that it might have ended too abruptly. I was LOVING the build up closer to the end, I just feel like the climax was too quick and the drop from that too neck breaking. It gets a 4 from me for that. I highlighted this book a lot and loved the illustrations.
