Customer Reviews

A family favorite for 25 years now.

I received Patrick Comes to Puttyville for my 4th Birthday in 1982. I remember my mother reading it to me & my younger brother many, many times over. Now I'm 29 & I've just read it for the first time to my 2 year old daughter. She loved it & now asks for us to read it every night. I'm pregnant with our second child & forsee myself reading it many more times in the future. A fate that I look forward to as I still love these stories & hardly see myself growing tired of Patrick & his adventures.
