My toddler immediately started pointing at the bright color illustrations on the light blue endpapers. The story about finding a real friend really clicked with her.

The full-page illustrations on every single sheet make this feel like a storybook you’d keep forever, and the sturdy pictorial boards held up great through my toddler’s grabbing. It arrived exactly as described, a gorgeous copy of a modern classic.
