Excellent childrens book

This is an excellent childrens book. I purchased it when my son was a toddler and he still enjoys hearing and reading the story. He is now nine years old! I agree with the above reviewer, please do not let this precious story go out of print.

don't let this book go out of print

This is a wonderful book for reading aloud to the very young. Simple story, mysterious pictures. Rainbow Rhino goes adventuring with three birds who are his best friends. One by one the birds stay behind, and the rhino is left alone. In the end they are all reunited.
