Customer Reviews

Excellent story!

This story was so well written it made me cry, when I got to the central piece about the purple "thing" that Peter broke. I love how Ms Johnson treats the father/son relationships in the story, how she ties together the generational issues from father to son, to grandfather and grandson, and back to father and son again. It is a touching, gentle story that shows that love isn't always easy to express, and things aren't always what they seem. Highly recommended to read to young sons, and maybe even older ones.
