Impeccable condition

Order this book after reading it to my son’s preK class knowing it wasn’t a book that was published recently and in search for it realized how hard it was to find a decent copy. This one came in and swore it looked brand new. No sight of being used or abused. Looking forward to having this passed down for years to come in our collection of books

Beautiful!

This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. The artwork and the text are both sublime. I received it as a baby shower gift 30 years ago. Though it's now out of print I still search for it and give it as a gift whenever I can.

I also want them to know that there is joy beyond material things

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016

As a professor of English and Cultural Studies, I try to introduce my children to as much of the world as I can and try to help them understand that as much as we might want to believe that things are fair, that everyone is treated equally, that everyone has equal opportunities, etc. these are all myths. I also want them to know that there is joy beyond material things, satisfaction beyond consumption and success beyond monetary gain. Thus, I cannot disagree more with the parents who wanted this book banned for fear children would be exposed to the reality that life isn't fair and that people struggle. Children will ask questions. Who better to answer them than their parents? Moreover, what message does that send if parents are afraid to confront or even speak to the issues? Your kids will get answers on their own. Simply put, this book is a must for it is a book of hope more than anything. Indeed, that is the heart of the title.

MY #1 Children’s Book

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020

I read this to my son frequently, always led to thoughtful conversations. I must have given away. My son, now 31, is expecting his first child, I was determined to find this beautiful book that makes children aware how fortunate they are, how poverty, hunger, etc that we take for granted is not in every country.

I’ve purchased this book at least 5 times in 25 years. Every copy I gave away to teachers who heard me Read from it. I also Read this book in Congress in 1994 to request the need for the information superhighway in Florida’s schools.

Love this book to teach world awareness and sympathy for others

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

Best book to teach young kids to appreciate the life they have, and to gain some awareness and sympathy for those in need. Done in a light way with excellent artwork and minimal text of Sesame Street characters.

Great message about being grateful

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

Sold as used but it was like new. I absolutely love the message of this book. This book is great to teach children to be grateful for what they have because there are other children in the world who may not have some things that we might take for granted. I think this is a must have book for all children.

Another must-have book.

I have this book and love it a lot, so I bought one for my daughter to add to her must-have library. For a used book, it was in excellent condition. The book made it in time to give to my daughter before she left us, which was great since she was visiting for a very short time.
