Customer Reviews

Had to buy it so I could give the library theirs back

My daughter loves this book so much that we had to keep checking it out of the library over and over. I finally had to get her her own copy so they could have theirs back! There's a gentle humor to this book, and somehow Mr. James manages to convey in the brief arena of a children's book, a real gamut of a child's emotions in such a way that you know exactly how Sally feels. This is the sort of children's book that adults *want* to read to their children.

Our family loves it

This is our preshool teachers favorite book. We loved it from the moment the childrens librarian came to the school to read it. The illustrations are wonderful they remind me of the illustrations I remember from my childhood books. My sons favorite page is where Sally has HAD it with the doctor fussing over her so she knocks over the chair and makes a run for it out the door,down the hall and to the beach. I'm sure he can relate to wanting to run away when everyone is fussing over him.
