A great short book with deep truths. The little details in the story the pictures are telling makes it more amusing.

Also, my love language is definitely quality time and the message speaks loud and clear to me in this book. I would rather spend time with someone than receive a gift from them. I guess not all people are like that so I would be careful about getting certain people the gift of "nothing." Or maybe just get them this book so they might understand what to get you.

Loved this book. It's a great premise about friendship, and what a true gift is. Given to us at the shower by Mel.

This book...sweet, funny, and the message it sends is stellar. Read on New Years Eve with my little family and it was perfect.

This is a wonderful story about how sometimes the best thing to get someone for their birthday is no "thing" at all. I love how the author gets the story across without using a ton of words--the text is nice and concise. My only slight disappointment is the style of illustrations. I know they're his trademark, but the small, 3-color illustrations don't always hold the interest of the youngest picture book audience.
