Fantastic for ALL Ages

This little book has a great big inside.....It is full of awe and wonder for a small child to giggle through... or an adult to be whimsically delighted.

A favorite for all ages!

For children, this book is all about the acceptableness of absurdity.For adults, this book is all about being open to unconventional solutions and finding the silver lining in whatever life throws you.

Beautiful!

This is by far the most beautiful childrens book i have ever read. It was frist read to me in 1985 as a little girl of 4. I recently gave it to my boyfriend who fell in love with it as well. Now we read it to each other all the time. Remember the night rainbow is a must read for anyone who still fells the magic of being a child

Even in the darkest of times, this book cheers you.

This poem (book) was given to me at a time when I was very low, and it instantly gave me a start and a route up. Since, I have given it to several people, some who have suffered real tragedy. It always helps.
