My 3 year old loves this. He can read it back from memory, for the most part. Nice to have an atypical story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight !
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2012
My daughter is turning 21 and I am buying this book for her, because it was one of her favorites. It was great for her as a little girl to read a story that was not the typical folk tale, and this one is warm, endearing, and a joy to read. When it was my turn to read to her second grade class, we picked this book because we knew many people had not heard of it, and it would be new to them.
I look forward to someday reading it to grandchildren !

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2000
My mother read this story to me when I was little. I adored the story becuase of the repetitive rhyme, and the cunning of the bird. While some might say that the story seems a bit violent, I think that the way the bird travels across the land to rescue his beloved from the selfish king demonstrates a fantastic lesson in love and devotion. The illustrations were wonderful too. For example, when the various things travelling with the bird crawled into his ear in order to make the journey, (the stick, the ants, the river, the cats) the pictures showed them up in the corner of the page, and it delighted my imagination to think that so many things could fit into the ear of such a small bird.

I got the book on time. My biggest complaint is it does look like it used to belong to a library. Other than that it's exactly as I remember it when I was a little kid.
