When I was a little girl, my mother, sister and I would get on the waiting list every 2 weeks at the library for this wonderful book. The stories are sweet, funny and poignant; the illustrations divine. This is Waber's best book. I love it.
One Most Remembered From Childhood -- often recounted!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a child I adored this book and the characters -- I found them so easy to identify with as they would try to work on character flaws such as losing mittens and slouching. The final story gives an important & powerful message in such a simple format that I have never forgotten it. In fact, I have recounted the story to many of my adult friends when they have been down about the trials of life. So now I'm sending it to my friends with kids. I'm certain they will like it as well.
