I only read the story as written the first time thru. After that I always paraphrase or cut out whole chunks of text because it just keeps repeating the same phrases over and over and over...
It drives me crazy. I don't know if any kids like so much of the same and same and same phrases, but I can't stand it. What benefit is massive repetition supposed to have?

Why are illustrated children's books so repetitive? I hate it.
