Customer Reviews

A childhood favorite...

I bought this book as an adult, having read it repeatedly in libraries as a child. I can honestly say that the fondness with which I remembered it was well-deserved. The plot is clever, the illustrations are charming, and the theme is laudable. If you're looking for a book that teaches children the wisdom of enjoying things in moderation, this could do it. It's also just a fun read with endearing characters. I was delighted that it was just as lovely as I thought it was when I was little.
