John Lithgow is a treat and a national treasure

John Lithgow is a genius, but we all knew that. Whether you were introduced to him via third rock from the sun, or his many many serious roles, John never ceases to amaze and this is just an extension of that.

The audio book version and the print copy, in my humble opinion, are both necessary to enjoy the book fully.

If you pick up the print version, you are missing out on John's witty delivery, and if you pick up the audio book only, you'll miss out on that amazing illustrations.

Fun for the whole family.
