Best Book Ever:
My wife bought this book to read to our foster children. It has turned out to be our favorite book of all time for our kids! The words and meaning are so touching and true, very heartfelt. And the drawings are the most precious and endearing. They are just as great as the storyline. The most precious book for the most precious children! Every child should have one!
not just about parent/child love...:
I bought this book several years ago when Daniel Pinkwater reviewed it on Public Radio. It perfectly describes a relationship between parent and child, where the parent is the stable rock the child craves, the child the ingenuous spirit the adult has lost. I don't see it as being limited to adults and children. I have many of the same feelings about some of my adult friends. I do agree with the reviewer who suggested this is basically an adult book -- I don't think most children will understand... more info
Heart Warming Book:
This book really warms your heart. Perfect for anyone - parents and children. I give it to all of my friends who had a baby or are having a baby... It made me cry after my daughter was born because the book is so touching, yet so simple. It is one my 18 month old daughters favorite books. ENJOY!
Touching book:
LOVE THIS BOOK! It's a great kid-friendly story about the relationship between a parent and child. The pictures are wonderful also. Gave it as a baby shower gift to a good friend but will absolutely get another copy when I have my own children!
