This book is awesome. I just read it to my 6 year-old nephew. And he really liked it very much. He liked Elbow grease and his family. This book sends out a great message to kids. If you keep trying even when things get hard and never give up. You can succeed and reach you goals. I highly recommend this book. Thanks John Cena. For an awesome book for both adults and kids. This book deserves 5 stars and two thumbs up.
