Great message!

I bought this book to add to our family collection when my son was 4, because the lesson of the story is a really good one: that less can actually be more. Nice illustrations and charming story make this book appropriate for all ages. We read this one periodically as a nice reminder to counter the many messages to keep accumulating more and more stuff.

Wonderful Book for Children and Adults Alike

This wonderful children's book carries a terrific message about letting go of the things that weigh us down and prevent us from living life to the fullest. It has beautiful color illustrations that convey a sense of playfulness. It teaches the importance of generosity, friendship, and the magic and fulfillment of living simply. This is truly a book to cherish, not only for children but for adults as well!
