5.0 out of 5 stars A book is worth a thousand photos, March 2, 2007

When my nephew was a toddler, he loved this book more than all the others combined. Between his parents, grandparents and me, we must have read him that book thousands of times, at least, before he learned to read it by himself.

Twenty years later, a friend gave me a big bag of books her children no longer needed. Down at the bottom of the bag was a copy of that book, well-worn and obviously loved. I laughed when I saw it and set it aside.

The next time my nephew visited me, I handed him that old book. Now that he was a grown man, would he remember the book or think that it was weird that his aunt gave him a children's book? Greg remembered the book and still loved it. He instantly sat down and read it several times. When he was done, he told me he remembered the book and all the people who read it to him. He remembered what it was like to sit in his great-grandmother's lap and snuggle while she read to him.

His grandmother and great-grandmothers are gone now, but the memories of them live on because of this simple child's storybook. All the photos of them in our albums can't conjure up the feelings of love and safety the way that one book does for Greg.

And the book has become part of our family culture. Whenever we have a young puppy and it does something naughty, we remind each other, puppies are like that!

This was my daughter's favorite book when she was little so unfortunately it didn't make it to adulthood. When I saw it online I had to get it. Now it's my granddaughter's favorite book too. Thanks for carrying it.

I LOVED this story as a child myself so I knew I had to get it for my son. Really sad when I found out it was out of publication, so I was really thankful that I found it quickly on Amazon! Still love it and hope my son loves it just as much!
