This had long been a book I'd heard spoken of in almost reverential awe. Sounds like high praise, no? Well, it's actually deserved.

I love this book. I've read it in both English and the original French, and it never fails to make me cry. I quote from it. I've read it out loud to all the children in my life. I recommend it to anyone who will listen. I go back to it at least once a year. This short, whimsical tale is infused with wisdom and warmth and is as close to perfect as a book can be.
