I bought this on a whim after reading about the author in an early childhood education course. I loved the cover art but didn't know the plot and wasn't familiar personally with the author.
The first time I read this to my class of 2.5-5 year olds, I was worried that the gorgeous but dark art style would not captivate them, and I fretted over a line about "what would the boys think of a girl at my birthday party?"
But then, the kids requested this book seven more times in three days! They just could not get enough of A Letter to Amy. When a child came back after a few days out sick, his friends rushed up to me and asked me to pull out their new favorite book to show him!
It is good writing, point blank. A simple story line that invites lots of questions and leads children to make inferences, "What did he wish for? Who is Eddie? Why is she sad?"
The author is a treasure and a classic! Buy this book. Your kids will remember it for a lifetime. (In fact, I unearthed a latent memory recently where I recalled reading an excerpt of this on the reading comprehension portion a standardized test in like 2nd grade, lol.)
