Conor Oberst of the band Bright Eyes records a small child reading this at the very beginnng of is CD Fevers & Mirrors. It seemed like a great story, even though on here it says it's a children's book. It really made me want to hear what happened between the two friends.

When Mitchell announces that he is moving "two weeks away" from the home he's lived in for sixty years, his best buddy (and next door neighbor) Margo doesn't sit quietly by and let him slip away. The tale that ensues speaks volumes about the love of friendship and surprising solutions. If you find yourself reading the same stories over and over, you'll want to make sure this one is among the possibilities.

Mitchell the dinosaur is tired of living in the same old place and decides to move "three days away". His best friend Margo isn't happy about that at all. She thinks of some very ingenious ways to try and keep Mitchell as her neighbor. The story stays cute and readable--no matter how many times I've read it over the years.

I read this book to all my kindergarteners over a fifteen year period, and they loved it. But, it also is a perfect gift for dear friends who are moving away. Once the adults recover from the shock of receiving a children's book as a gift, they universally appreciate it. This is high on my top twenty-five favorite children's books.

Loved this book, used to read it to my daughters. We still use that phrase "I'm a moving Mitchell" whenever one of us moves.

my family loves this book. it is so cute and helps my kids process their feelings when their friends move away.

Mitchell is moving is one of the best books I have ever read. Mitchell has lived next door to his friend for so long so he finally decides to move away, "three days away" to be exact. Margo, his friend, is not to happy about it so she tries to keep him from going. I recomend this book to all ages!
