Reasons why I liked or didn’t like Some of the reasons why I liked this book is because it tells of how a father goes all out of his way to find his children. Another reason why I liked it is because father made sure that his children had a good education and where safe and well taken care of. One point that I did not like was the part where the mellower did not go out with the children when they where going out on there adventure.

The End!!!!!
