My son has loved this book since he was 1 & 1/2 years old. We have looked everywhere for it so we were very happy to find it. He is 6 now and he still loves this book. He even reads it to his 2 yr old brother. A day don't pass that we don't read it at least once. The only thing I would change with this purchase is I wish it was hard backed but it stands up to my boys great.

You can't go wrong with anything written and/or illustrated by Simms Taback. We bought this originally because I fondly remembered the story from my own childhood, but this surpasses that earlier edition. It is beautifully illustrated and captivating for our kids. They especially like it when you speed read it to them!! We've worn out our very first version, but will be ordering another one. My Highest Recommendation!!

I was ordering a bunch of books for children of different ages for a holiday party and picked this one based on its inclusion in the Parents maagazine Best Books of 2006 article. I suppose the $6.99 price should have clued me in, but I just didn't expect a children's book for this age group to be paperback. And the child that I picked this for was very disappointed that all the other kids got hardback books and hers was paperback. I am sure that she will love it once she reads it, but in the excitement of all the gift opening, it was a letdown. This may seem petty, but the book really is beautiful. It just seems really flimsy as a paperback.

This will be our second copy of the book! We read the very first one to death... and he has been asking for it ever since!

I got this book originally from the library for my son who was then just turning 2. We absolutely loved it. It is the kind of book that doesn't get old no matter how many times we read it together. He is not nearly 3, and he loves to sit down and read (recite) this book. Everyone who sees it loves the illustrations and the story itself. One of the touches that I like the most is the lettering. It all appears as a collage, making it very fun to look at. 5 very enthusiastic stars.
