It was amazing! Couldn't stop reading it.

[Steven Fox · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written Lady bird classic edition.

[Maria Elmvang · Rating 4 out of 5]

A charming children's classic in the style of "Seven Little Australians" and "Five Peppers and How They Grew". A delightful story of people being generally good to each other and therefore a perfect comfort book.

Interesting story but the abridgement must have affected the flow, and also some things don’t really make sense. I shall have to look up the original.

[Nicolene · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not sure if this is the exact version we read as our version seemed too short.
I was left wondering, is that it?
I expected more, so I shall be hunting down other versions for comparison

I love this abridged version of the classic. Very beautifully illustrated and well narrated audiobook ! Never gets old!
