Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2016Verified Purchase
Not terribly impressed with the story or the illustrations, to be honest. I have a student in my classroom who loves fireworks and loves to read. I purchased this book with her in mind. Surprised as I was when she didn't like it, it clearly disappointed an avid reader, (besides me).
