It was pretty special to read this is the first full read aloud chapter book with my son. So that might be coloring my opinion. There’s something so wonderful about how straight forward this children’s book is about death. And how hopeful, charming, and beautiful it is. As predicted I sobbed through the end of it.

Delightful, as always.

Audiobook 2x narrated by Meryl Streep & full cast, what a sweet story! I read this so many times as a child and I loved the movie.

Basically, the moral of this particular yarn is that you'll get murdered unless you have a friend vouch for you.
