Beautiful Joe's Paradise

My wife has always talked about this great book that she read as a child. I really surprised her with a copy all these years later.

The Very Best

Of all the books I read as a child, and I read everything I could get my hands on, Beautiful Joe's Paradise was the most wonderful of all. It stired in my heart such hope and faith that all my incredible companions would not just cease to exist, but would be with me forever. I am 50 years old now and I read it still. I showed it to my children and it is their favorite as well. Something in the way this book was written spans time and touches the heart of readers today. It is so exciting that it is available again. All animal lovers (as well as everyone else) should read this book!
