A Family Tradition
My family has used these beautiful advent storybook ornaments since it first came out in 1994. I was sad last year to see that it was out of print, because I wanted another copy.

Truth is more entertaining than fiction
My daughter (age 6) and son (4) love this book because it's "real." The book includes a handful of chapter-long stories about water-skiing squirrels, painting elephants and more. My first-grader is able to read the book with very little assistance and both kids love the accompanying photos.

Perfect for Cub Scouts
I bought this book without ever having seen the show, thinking it was *just* the thing for my 8-10 yo Cub Scouts. I couldn't have been more right! I was surprised to learn they *all* watch it, and love the show, so I made sure to catch it for myself and my family. It's a great way to talk to young boys, and to get the shyer ones to talk to the other boys. There's not much by way of 'how to', ...

Fun Reading
Every day before napping and bedtime, my 18-month old son always picks this book for us to read together. As we read through each page, he loves to point out all of the characters and what each is doing.

Beautiful, haunting, enchanting

The story is in a clear, straightforward, traditional retelling by Barbara Rogasky, but Hyman's illustrations lift this version out of the average and into the sublime. The ...
