An unusual use for this book

When my children were young, I enjoyed reading this book to them because they responded with laughs and giggles. That was a long time ago, but they still talk about the book frequently when they get together. I think that's because it's a very good book to act out as you read it aloud. Now, I've found another use for this light-hearted little book. I'm a retired theatre teacher, but I also teach literacy to adults. (You'd...

Warm fuzzies

I am so excited that this book is back in print. I can't wait to purchase it for my son and daughter (3 & 1) as it was my favorite book as a child (I'm 38 now). I remember it so vividly as my mother would read it to me and my sisters. It's such an endearing story that my sisters and I tried to locate it many years ago and found that it was no longer in print. I'm emailing all 3 now to let them know it's available again...

Mr. Kessler I wish my mom kept this book!

This story was my absolute favorite as a child. I only can wish that one day I will be able to share it with my kids.

I believe it is important to reinforce, as a role model, my love for reading, and what better way to do that through my own childhood memories. I am afraid I will never see that purple book again. We all have our...

Wonderful!

I read Mr. Pine's Purple House to my son (who is now 27 years old) when he was 7+ years old. He liked for me read to him while he was taking his bath at night, and I would have to read this book over and over again. I would love to find a copy of this book. It brings back wonderful memories.
