It is now a family tradition (one that I'm just starting), to give this book to all of our grandchildren/grandnephews/etc., . sharing with parents the story of this book in our home. We read this book over and over through the years, true to course. However, that's not the end of our family's relationship with this lovely gem. Some of you might quibble with our sharing this. but here goes. the fact is that as the youngest child in our home was finally outgrowing this book, the oldest son came along and . well, altered the reading of this book a bit.
