Great book!

I have been selling this book and others in the Family of Ree series out of my art gallery for many years. They have been favorites with my customers. In fact, I have even had kids who grew up on these books who are now buying them for their own children. These are also a favorite amongst educators and teachers. The teachers have told me that the kids really respond to the rhyming and bright colorful illustrations. And the common sense values have been a big hit with the parents. The Legend of Snow Pookas is a really fun story whether you are reading to your kids or they are reading it for themselves.
