I found this book to be a cute story centred on two little girls who help learn the meaning of words, and how they are created. It's a nice and easy book to read with some nice illustrations.

A couple of sisters—Lali the Littlest and Abba the Adventurous—want to make “clearful” a real word and go to some pretty amazing lengths to do so.
Lali excels at jumping in muddy puddles; if you’re paying attention, you’ll see the page has muddy paw marks. You don’t get to learn much more about the girls, as there’s really small text on each page with an occasional watercolor-type drawing.
I was enjoying it, as it took place in reality even if it was fiction and farfetched. Then the cat turned into something a lot more than a cat. By the end of the story I felt it hadn’t been necessary and it dropped my enjoyment a bit.

This was cute and sweet, but the tone and genre seemed to shift a lot. It began as realistic fiction, then their cat drove a car to Paris and I couldn't tell if it was meant to be imaginative play or if the book was trying to blend into fantasy.
