I love this classic childrens story of friendship

Wonderful book! Included in the Beyond-Five in a Row homeschool curriculum

Classic Children's tale.

One of the best children's books ever! And winner of the Newberry Honor.

I liked the book O.K. I read it in school so I had a Serten amount of time I had to finsh it in. I probobly would have liked it more if I read it on my own time!

One of my all-time favorite books when I was younger. I couldn't believe it'd taken persuasion from my parents to get me started on this gift from their best friend.

Classic children's book
