I probably would have liked this better if I'd read it as a child. As an adult, I feel like I missed out a bit. It is a lovely and sad book, and I'll definitely be buying a copy for my future children.

This book was so charming and beautifully written, with deep themes subtlety blended into the story.
acewho's review against another edition
probably one of the most wonderful books ever. The illustrations effectively convey the intentions and meaning of the writing with simplicity and understatement. And the writing is enchanting and engaging just to itself. As a reader, I feel like he is speaking right to the child as a part of me, and that stays true every time I read it, no matter how much older I am. There is no intermediary of adult or criticism, he manages to skip right past that.

A very short and sweet book written as a children's book to better convey the message at the heart of it.
