I gave it five stars the first time I read it, last year (?). And a reread, even though I know the principle/ gimmick, still warrants the 5 stars. The thing is, it's not just funny, but it can rewire your brain if you let it. In a good way. Makes you rethink the value of rhymes, of picture-books with predictive...
