The Story of May

My daughter and I fell in love with this story wheh she was a child. We followed May through the months of relatives on a wonderful adventure. Mordical Gerstein gives such fantastic personalities to each month personality and teaches a lesson of love and family bonds along the way. A great addition to the rest of his books!

Original, Creative, Enjoyable for Children and Adults

My 6 year old daughter borrowed this book from the library at school. She brings home books every week from the library and always enjoys them, but this book was different. I read it to both my 5 and 6 year old and although it was longer than most books I read to them, it held their attention, they were making predictions, and they begged me to buy it for them. It is the one book my daughter has borrowed that she has not forgotten about. A very clever story.

Creative and beautiful book

We enjoyed this book so much! It's very creative, and though a bit long for younger kids, it really kept their attention (they are 4 and 7).
