Customer Reviews

Great read!

Anything by Ezra Jack Keats is a winner. He is one of my favorite kids authors. Do yourself and your kids a favor and get lost in his beautiful illustrations and story lines that really appeal to the child's way of thinking.

Interesting Book about a Special Kid!

A child who rarely speaks and is different from his classmates finds a puppet friend to talk to. His peers are surprised at his reaction but find a way to deal with him and make him happy. What a sweet book about treating people decently.

Sweet, charming, lovely, and utterly priceless

Louie is a precious tale of a boy who finds a puppet friend. This charming encounter softly captures the unmeasurable love of a boy and his friend. Their adventures are an enchanting remembrence of how important childhood friends are. I give it two thumbs up!
