As expected

I love this book and like to share it but it is impossible to find it new. I don't like giving used things but this book is an exception. This particular copy was in good shape for being used and I will enjoy sharing it with someone who might not otherwise ever find it.

Bub or the Very Best Thing

When my 2 teenagers were very young, a librarian read this book to them at a storyhour. "Bub" became our code word for "love" and whenever any of us wants to remind another of our feelings, we say "bub" to each other. Phone calls end with "bub", we encourage them on the baseball field and basketball court with "C'mon, Bub!", it's become one of those familial idiocyncrasies that we will all cherish for our lifetimes. I have read the book to my students as well. Now I am ordering the book as a keepsake for my family for Christmas.

good read

This beautifully illustrated book is great to read with your kids. It is about what is most important in a child's upbringing. The king and Queen in the book both think they know what is best for the little prince, but neither of themcan agree on what that is. Together they set out to find the answer, but the little prince already knows the answer it's Bub or Love as he can't quite pronounce it yet. I thinkyou and your kids will enjoy reading this book together.

One of the books I never tire of reading

I received this book as a gift. What a great gift. All three of my children have learned about "bub". You'll have to read it to figure out the mystery for yourself.
