I agree tiny texts can be ignored by the young ones. I hope the author will take the point into account and fix it. Thank you for your well analysed review.
Small letters is a problem, as well as it is not. It is how you analyze that. Thanks for your kind admiration 👍👍

Thanks for the review!
I am glad to find a fellow author who thinks alike. Thanks for stopping by 👍👍

Yes it is a children's book, but and adult can always enjoy this one if he/she has the heart for that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍👍

She have found the most suitable way to get into kids heads, the pictures. Thanks for pointing that out 👍👍

Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
