Customer Reviews

A wonderful book of imagination

I bought this book in a gift shop supporting a local nonprofit many years ago; it was (and is) one my my favorite books to read to my children. It is full of surprises and wonderful pictures; I have been searching for it for years to give to other children (being unwilling to part with my copy, which I plan to save for my future grandchildren).

My all-time favorite

My father used to read this book to me and my brother before bedtime and I still remember it as my all-time favorite book (I am 28 and about to start my own family). The book encourages a child to use his/her imagination.

Yes, The Best!!!
