CHILDREN'S BOOK FOR CHILDREN OF AGES 4-100

Natalie Babbitt writes beautiful books, books with wit and charm and actually very original complex storylines that just sweep you away with their themes. They are very unusual themes, ones that people have never thought of before, and that's what makes them so interesting. I am 14 years old and I still love these short books, they are absolutely fantastic. This one being no exception.
