When I was in high school, my Mom would sit at the table and read to we kids as we cleaned the kitchen. This is one of the books she read... only I enjoyed it so much, I started reading ahead of what she was reading aloud. Pretty soon, she was also racing ahead... only one problem, we just had one copy of the book. So, we would play tricks on each other (like turning up the stove while one was sauteing onions so they would set the book down and we could snatch it up.) Great fun memories. I can't count how many times I've read this book since then... it's a wonderful read (and the movie's not half-bad either!)
