A beautiful, touching simple story. Even though it was written in the 40's, the story is one that children will relate to today. An excellent reminder of the importance of kindness, forgiveness and treating others well.

A powerful little book that addresses bullying in a quiet, well rounded way. Brought a tear to my eye. Highly recommend to elementary children.

A poignant and at times poetic little book that covers a range of issues with brutal simplicity that adults and children alike can understand and appreciate.

Very cute and a good lesson. Makes me happy to know that the third graders in my school are getting to read this.
