If my six-year-old can sit through this story, it has to be a five-star! He was mesmerized! I read it to my almost 10-year-old when he was three; it calmed him for a nap everytime. He still enjoys listening to it now. It was one of my favorites growing up, but even more so now sharing it with my boys. Read it this holiday season with a child you love or just to become a child again!
