Warm Fuzzies Are Back

Claude Steiner, clinical psychologist and author, originated the concept of Warm Fuzzies and Cold Pricklies in the late 1960s. The concept has become the delightful symbol of the positive and negative strokes given and received in human living and loving for countless children & adults. This is the first time that the Tale has been fully illustrated in it's original version. [From the back cover]

Wonderful for all ages!

My mother bought this book for me over 20 years ago. I have a photo of me reading it to my younger sister when I was 7 and she was 18 months old. I loved the book back then, and I love it equally now. The message of giving love freely and universally is beautiful. The illustrations are also lovely. I look forward to the time when my own son is old enough to enjoy the Warm Fuzzy Tale. I'm so glad that it's still in print! The story might be geared toward children, but even adults can find something meaningful and reassuring within its pages. Something that will make you feel, well...warm and fuzzy!

wonderful

I absolutely love this book! Growing up hearing the "warm fuzzy story" told to me by verbal storytelling, I was delighted to find this book in print. I have used it to read many children to sleep at summer camps and overnights and have bought several copies to give away. This is an endearing story with a wonderful, positive message that kids CAN change the world and the illustrations are just TOO cute!

Warm Fuzzy Tale is Wonderful

I bought a copy of The Original Warm Fuzzy Tale for my young son two decades ago, and it was his first choice for "bedtime story" for many months thereafter. I too loved it because of its message of universal love. If only all adults could live the message symbolized so eloquently and concisely by this modern parable! When my son grew up and moved on, I saved this book to share with my adult friends, and will continue to save it for my grandchildren, if and when I have them.

Fabulous Character Building

This story is a must for every child's early experiences....can have lasting effect on their perspective on life! It took me ten years to find this book with only vague childhood memories to aid my search...now I've found it for my children! Yeah!
