Customer Reviews

A great, simple tale.

My brother and I received this book when we were about six years old. A library was having a sale, and it came in a box of other childrens books. Out of all of the books, this is the one that we read the most. This is a wonderful, simple tale, about a boy who, when faced with a problem, knows there are always two "handles" on the situation. One is bad, the other is good. This book helps children learn how to make good choices. I am in my twenties now, and I haven't read "Tom and the two handles" in many years. But the story has remained with me over the years, and I'm sure it will have the same impact on children today.
