This book is essential. I had it when I was a child and I just recently bought it for my girl friend and her baby shower. She loved it because she also had the book when she was a kid, but totally forgot about it. It was great to bring back those memories for her and knowing that she's going to be able to read it to her child like it was read to her.

I'm so glad that they continue to publish just really amazing classic children's books. I know that there are alot of them, but there aren't that many quality ones. This is quality and this is just pure enjoyment and reminiscence.
