One Enchanted Evening

I have a two year old daughter that just loves all of Mark Kimball Moulton's books. "One Enchanted Evening" tops her list of favorites. The only way to describe it, is like a "Mid Summer Night's Dream", but for children. It's magical with a wonderful message -- you can't help who you fall in love with. I highly recommend this book.

Whenever I ask my girls(ages 7 & 5) to go get my favorite book to read to them, this is the one they grab, and they are right. I absolutely love this book. I have read it to every child I've had a chance to. I have read it to adults as well. The message is to beautiful, and true. The illistations drew me to this book, and the story keeps me coming back, time and time again. I look forward to reading it each time I get the chance, and for many, many years to come.

I am a recent M.K. Moulton fan, and just love this book. He uses different illustrators for his books, so each one has a different feel. I've purchased this book twice, once for myself, and the other for a gift! Beautifully presented in a hard-case, it reminds me of quality books I had as a child. A must!

Not only do the colorful vocabulary and exquisite illustrations bursting on each page capture the minds of children and adults alike in this book, the message of accepting AND loving differences, will too. The clever use of nature's creatures, each with their strengths, also adds to the main theme. I find the heavy paper stock used and book box included an extra benefit to a wonderful book. I purchased this book for myself and others who have bi-cultural children.

The cover of this book was what attracted me to it. The illustrations are so precious. The story content of love being there for you regardless of your differences is so innocent yet so sincere. I purchased this book for a friend of mine that is going through hards time in her marriage. I think that his book would make a great wedding gift.
