There is a reason this book is a top seller! There's a reason this book is a top seller, it's adorable! I first read this book in a toddler book club when I was a nanny, I now read this book to my own children. I have read this book probably a hundred + times (not an exaggeration) and I still love it. I haven't found a child who didn't like this book, it's so cute. Great story, nice colorful illustrations. I highly recommend t. Andy said Great Book, Esepcially for Kiddos with Special Needs. I'm going to side with every other member of this book's fan club. I bought his because I have a beautiful little boy who has some very specialized challenges, and I loved the message this book sendsthat you can be different, you can even not be good at certain things in other people's eyes, but there can still be something beautiful only you can contribute. And I want my son to kno. "Great book and great story!" according to Audrey Hochstetter. I received this as a gift for my newborn and have since purchased numerous copies to give to friends having babies of their own. It is a great story with a wonderful message. It also has very bright and vivid illustrations that keep my daughter's attention as we are reading the book. I would definitely recommend this!
