My students seem to like this book, so I gave it a try. I think because I read it as an adult, the nostalgic charm was lost on me. The only positive was the play on words, otherwise I thought there was a lot of filler description and dialogue that I subconsciously skipped over.

what a darling little story! reminded me of bluey and winnie the pooh and all my favorite kids movies because we all need a reminder sometimes that life is beautiful. 

“it’s all in how you look at things” and “a colorful symphony” were my favorite chapters.

i can’t believe i never heard of this book growing up.. it’s aimed more toward kids but my partner and i read it together in our 30s and loved it

A classic, I would love to see them redo the movie.
