I am 70+ years old, but I can STILL remember being read this book when I was in grade school. It gave me a love for books which continues to this day. So thank you, Sister Sylvia, for instilling in me the "Need to Read."

You know a book is good when your 6 and 9 year olds laugh out loud and beg you to repeat sections because they love it! This is a sweet wonderful read. I think it is part of Sonlight K or 1 - or was several years ago.
