ألكسندر والفأر الريحي

My son asked for this one every night for two weeks straight, and the story about Alexander and Willy finding friendship despite being so different really hit him. The illustrations are classic Leo Lionni style, and the Caldecott Honor quality shows in every page turn.

The soft, worn-in feel of the pages makes this a perfect bedtime read, and the story's message about friendship really hit home with my son.

My kid was really drawn to the story about friendship and being yourself, and I noticed the pages have a nice, sturdy feel to them. Only reason I'm giving four stars is the book arrived with a tiny crease on the cover.
