5.0 out of 5 starsA Wonderful Book
By A Customer on June 27, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This book was brought to my Children's Literature class and praised by everyone. At least three of us cried at the beauty of the language. The ending grabbed all of us. How beautiful for a child to read that he or she is wonderful just like the the trees, rain and birds. The clever use of borders, lines and space were praised by the professor. Contrary to the previous reviewer, we found the book delightful.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Happenings
By BARBARA HAYS on October 17, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This charming picture book makes the connection between how the everyday objects in our lives begin, including us, and then evolve into a final product. For example wheat grows in a field, becomes flour, and then bread.It explains that in the beginning there was no you but then you happened and will grow just like everything else. It beautifully answers many questions children are apt to have about the how and why of things. The illustrations are charmingly filled with birds, animals, flowers, snowmen, all things that would delight a young child. This book could become the next "Good Night Moon."

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Next "Good Night Moon"
By A Customer on October 19, 2000
Format: Hardcover
What a charming book to introduce the young child to the concept of birth. "The Wonderful Happens" is beautifully illustrated by Coco Dowley and the point of the book shows to a young child the simple beauty and wonder of nature unfolding. I highly recommend this book for reading and sharing with a 3-5 year old child.

5.0 out of 5 starsLoved it!
By A Customer on March 7, 2003
Format: Hardcover
My 8 yr old brought this book home from her school library. I cried the first time I read it to her, and after that I just made her read it to me! I thought it was fabulous, and have added it to our own library, as well as given it as a gift to many other children.

5.0 out of 5 starsIn California in 2015, my 4th grade students don't ...
By K. Basoco on October 18, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
In California in 2015, my 4th grade students don't know much about what happened in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. I found a Reading Rainbow video on Discovery Education that was outstanding and showed it to my students on 9-11-15. In that program, the students who were severely affected by those attacks told of ways they coped and eventually recovered. This book was one of the books that gave the students hope that life would go on. So I looked for it in the Amazon inventory, found it, and bought it. It has an AR level and quiz for teachers who use the Accelerated Reader system. Many of my students have read it and passed the quiz, but more importantly, they understand how the kids in New York suffered and overcame their tragedy, and how they derived hope from this book.
