COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Beautiful, wonderful story submitted by wendylv on August 29, 2013, 8:51pm This is one of the classics of children's literature. The ending still makes me tear up because it reminds you what is really important in life.

Must read submitted by flashnsnooks on July 7, 2017, 7:06am I read this one for the first time last night to my little guy. It is a beautiful story of being lost and found.

Strange submitted by cayluebeck on July 23, 2020, 2:28pm I found this story to be quite strange, I wasn't expecting the dark twist that this book took, but perhaps I lacked the sentimentality that other people had because I had never read it as a child. The illustrations are great and the ending is good.
