Ratings and reviews

I'm 30 now, but I remember this book as one of my absolute favorites of my childhood. I remember clear as day how excited I was every time my parents would read it to me, which was unnecessary because I had the whole thing memorized of course. I can't speak for today's generation but the story is well written and is much beloved in my family.

For kids picture book it needs the pictures and text to match better & photos need to be big enough to see

I had this book as a kid. I LOVED it!!! I fixated on the pictures. I loved the colours. What a suprise to see it digitized now!!

About the author

Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE HOUSE, Burton's books include heroes and happy endings, lively illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the sculptor, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally known professional artisans. She is the author of many classic children's picture books, including MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW.
