This book was such an influence on my perceptions and how I viewed the world. If someone came to me and asked w hat one book would you want a child to read..this would have to be at the top of the list.
So glad to see it is not lost or forgot!
I cannot even begin..OK..I cannot do a review. All I can say is this was loved by myself, my family, everyone.
I still laugh about the two babies.
It was always around and I would read it over and over.
