I was so thrilled to have an anniversary copy of the Classics Illustrated Junior story The Tinder Box!! It looks exactly like the book I had as a kid. When I heard the Tinder Box mentioned recently in a movie, Goodnight Mr. Tom, it was the picture on this cover that flashed into my mind. After that, I set about trying to find a copy to read to my grand-children. Thank you Jack Lake productions for bringing back these wonderful stories. I've since ordered several more books. I also put a link on my facebook page for any of my friends who might be interested in ordering.

I'd remember reading this when I was in the 5th grade and loved the story so much that when I found it on Amazon during a search I bought it for my daughter, in the 4th grade. She absolutely loved it as well! This is a great book to be handed down through the generations.
