After reading the reviews currently available on the fishpond website I just had to have my say. I recently found a secondhand copy of this book at a school fete and paid 50c! It is a classic in my opinion and it had been passed over all day. I was so excited because I fondly recall this book from my early childhood. Now I read it to my young son and he can't get enough of it. There is a magical quality to it which is hard to explain I guess. It's gorgeous.

I didn't much like this one. It was a little slow for my children and didn't really seem to have a point to it. I have heard it highly praised though, which is why I bought it so maybe it was just me. The illustrations are nice and bright though, so if it's not your cup of tea you could always use it as a colour learning tool!

This books is raved over in the USA and I just don't get it. Very little story, tiny words so that my daughter would have no hope of reading it as a beginner reader... I read it to her when I need something quick before bed and if read slowly it is slightly soothing but I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.

this book is well writeen but you really have to be into this style of writing to enjoy it... worth being read at least once , bargan price, seen in bookshops much higher price, over ok read would give it 2 out of five stars.. If you dont like it you could always use as birdcage liner lol....
