EXCELLENT BOOK

Charming story, suitable for all ages and short enough to maintain full attention of all readers

Not just for children

I stumbled across this book because I have fallen in love with Allen Say's illustrations. It is a wonderful, funny, old Japanese story retold by Say. The illustrations are as funny as the story and really add to the experience. This is a delightful story to tell or to read aloud for listeners of any age. I bought a copy for myself, one for my cousin and next time I buy some books for my grandchildren I'll buy one for them too.

My daughter and I love this book.

My three-year-old daughter and I happened across Under the Cherry Blossom Tree by Allen Say at our local library. It was different from any other kids' book we had read--strange, funny, and maybe a little disturbing. (Face it. We're talking about an old man with a tree growing out of his head.) But because of the humor, the beautiful illustration, and the poetically just ending, it soon became our favorite.One problem was that the library wanted it back. The other problem was that it was out of print.You won't know just how happy I was to find that Under the Cherry Blossom Tree had been re-printed until you read this book for yourself.
