Customer Reviews

A perfect book for our modern times!

What a joyful read that made me want to go out and explore the world with a new sense of wonder! This is such a lovely lesson for children these days (and frankly for adults as well) who have difficulty finding the joy in life when everything not "entertaining" feels boring. A perfect read for any kid who ever says "I'm bored". And the illustrations just capture the whole wide perfectly. Now I want to go take a walk and explore a stream! This will surely become a family favorite!
