5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite book ever, June 3, 1999
By A Customer
This book I know by heart, and I am 23 years old. My mother also knows it by heart because she had to read it to me over and over when I was a child. It was a joy to share this book with my niece and it will be a joy when I have children of my own to read this a thousand times like my mother did. I still have my old copy, and my neice has her brand new copy I bought for her on the day of her birth. It's a classic book teaching that "in all the world, this nest is best"
