Customer Reviews

I loved this book.

I remember this being my favorite book when I was about four years old. I haven't seen it in years, but I take issue with the editorial review above that remarks that young readers may not find it appealing. I LOVED it. The pictures were wonderful, it was fantastic, and I kept coming back again and again. It's such an imaginative book, and it fosters imagination in the children who read it. I whole-heartedly recommend this book. Even though I don't remember much of the story now, I remember the way it made me feel, and that I lit up every time my Mom brought this book home from the library.
