3.0 out of 5 stars Read the original!, September 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Small One (Hardcover)

It's an okay book, but nothing close to the original. "The Small One" was actually written by Charles Tazewell, best known for "The Littlest Angel". Tazewell's version, which is heartbreakingly beautiful, is out of print. If you can lay your hands on a copy via your local library or a used book store, do!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Small One (Board book)

This is one of my favorite children's books. It is about a little boy who loves his donkey, Small One, but the donkey is old and weak. The boy's father cannot afford the donkey anymore. The boy goes into town to sell Small One. Small One is willing to sacrifice his life for the boy, but the boy will not allow it.

This is a cute and inspiring tale of friendship. I would definitely recommend this book to people. This book teaches us a lesson. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend. The ending of the story is great. You won't be disappointed!

This review is from: The Small One (Hardcover)

Out of all the animated features and live-action movies from Disney, this would be my favorite. Both the book and the 25min. movie have an excellent story and beautiful artwork. I am 19 years old and still enjoy this wonderful story about humanity, devotion and love. Small One is a true friend and a classic story.
