Even though I cry each time I read this book to my children, it is my favorite. I have the quote from the book on my children's bedroom wall. Such a heart touching book. (Oct 19, 2020)

A classic story. It's not one of our favorites right now, but I think as my kiddo gets older it will be more in demand. It's precious. Mar 21, 2023

As a parent this book makes me cry every time, but I don't read it to my kids very often. The scenes in this book show children misbehaving and a mom losing her patience, & they don't need more ideas! Mar 12, 2022
