Why was Itsy climbing that spout in the first place?

Light’s illustrations are absolutely adorable! Some of the best I’ve seen this year. On the other hand, the text wobbles between complete sentences sometimes and fragments other times - making for an uneven reading experience - especially challenging if you are reading aloud. I didn’t enjoy the reading experience, but my eyes were delighted.
