Amazon Review is Garbage Delight

Do not listen to the modern rhetoric of this American co's review. The original illustration is what gave the book it charisma and texture. My Grade 3 class treats the original as a classic (in 2004!); one girl states it is a classic at her cottage. Sometimes, "new and improved" is not new and improved. Leave well enough alone and appreciate your heritage like we do in Canada.B JohnstonToronto

Garbage Delight

Growing up this was the FAVORITE book for night time reading in my houseThe poems / stories were ones that kids could relate toNow my sister is having a child of her own and we will be getting it for the next generation

A Child's Delite

I received this book as a child and unfortunately tore some of the pages out. However, most of it is still intact and I pick it up from time to time and I'm thrilled to read it. It takes me back to the days when being five WAS best and I liked strawberry soda. The book is very Canadian and I recommend it for ANY age. It's a joy to read to yourself or your little ones. The variety of tones make the book great for bedtime or rainy days. A delight for all readers. Also check out Lee and Newfeld's other stuff, especially _Alligator Pie_!
