One of the greatest children's books of all time, Jun 5 2007

I was first introduced to this book in teacher's college where Professor David Booth showed us examples of exceptional children's books. He gave us each a copy. Mine, I kept, and have read to my son and daughter over and over. Sometimes I think I read it more for myself; the words and images are mesmerizing.

"And it was still hot," it ends --like his imagination and his mother's love.

Reading for Me, Mar 14 2007

I love this book, have loved it since my neighbour bought it for my then two-year-old daughter.

Since that time, I've read it over and over, as slowly as I possibly can, hoping that the words will last. There's something so calming about them that I always feel like I've received a warm hug once I'm done. I am then ready to go off to sleep and say goodnight to my daughter and the moon.

Thank you, Ms Brown.

Yours,
