Customer Reviews

Best book ever

I was able to give my son the same book that I had read as a kid

Charming story in a tough little book

I purchased this book as a present for my two year old and he loves it. The illustrations and brief story make it one of his favorites. We embellish it with extra little details here and there. I like it beacause it has survived the love and attention of my very destructive little man.

Little Toot

A wonderful child's book from the yesteryears--My mom read it to me as a child and it's just as great!

A "Must Have" for your child's book collection

This is a beautiful book with a great story. I always favor giving books as gifts to young children and seek out "the classics." This one fits the bill!

What a joy!

What a joy to see the beautifully re-published restored edition of the classic book available again. I recently heard a glowing review of the restored edition on National Public Radio, and decided to purchase it for my five-year-old for Christmas. The story is timeless, and reminds children (and all of us) that we can make mistakes, but still go on to change our behaviors and do great good. It is as vividly-written as I had recalled from my own childhood -- not "dumbed-down" for children -- and the vibrant restored illustrations are glorious. The reviewer who who lamented an older edition will be delighted with this restored version. A wonderful gift to myself and my little boy this year.
