I can see how a child would have a lot of fun with this, though in terms of a critical thinking exercise, it can really only be a one time thing.
But for comfort and entertainment, I think it would have holding power, There are cute illustrations, and it's a cute book, We read this tonight in the sitelinkEloise Wilkin Stories, This is an adorable underrated sequence book,
