i love this book :) Its my favourite childhood story. It shows kids to only take what they need. Its a very cute story but is also sad :p
The classic Shel Silverstein story that shows the beauty of unconditional love. Used during the Destination Jungle program, "Growing Wild" at the following branches: Greely, Richmond, North Gower, Metcalfe and Vernon.
it repersents real life in a simple life.
I like this book. It has a good moral backbone running through it and a hint of sadness.
