A book that begs for reams of colored paper, rooms full of imaginative hands, and a whole lot of clapping and giggling.--Washington Post

Creativity personified!
Derived From Web , Jun 3, 2022
I love this book ''. Hall created a masterpiece with this model. Everything works beautifully about the book. The story and the theme about dealing with the challenges that life can throw at you is spot on. The design of the book fits the story of a tee. Often, one does not find a lot of character growth in a picture book, the story is often too short, especially if the characters are not human. But here the square does grow and realizes that change and challenge can bring joy. Highly Recommended '' - Book.

The books were left in a puddle
Derived From Web , Jan 26, 2020
I was happy to order these hard cover books, which arrived as ordered, but were delivered in a puddle and are all warped. I have a dry covered space before my front door, but found the box on the grass in a puddle.
