5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the best children's books of the 1990s,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jester Has Lost His Jingle Jester & Pharley Doll (Toy Only) (Accessory)
One of my friends who buys a lot of books from amazon.com told me that someone hated "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle" by David Saltzman and I couldn't believe it. It is one of the best children's books my family has ever read -- it is clever, funny, and filled with good advice and a great motto: "So when you're feeling lonely or sad or bad or blue, Remember where laughter's hiding...It's hiding inside of you." How anyone could not find this charming book a joy is beyond me. I first heard about the book when I watched "Good Morning America" several years ago. The story behind the book is as wonderful as the book itself. The author's mother promised her son, David -- a Yale graduate who was dying of Hodgkin's Disease -- that if he finished the book she would make sure it would be published. He unfortunately died in 1990, but his book lives on. I think the Washington Post just did a feature on "The Jester's Mom," Barbara Saltzman. It should be on that newspaper's Website. At any rate, five stars for the best children's book of the 1990s, maybe of all time.
