Title: The best. Ever.
Review: As a family, we love reading. The kids get stories every night. This one is their favourite, and mine. And it doesn't seem to matter how many times I read it, it still touches my heart and leaves me weeping with compassion for a mum who is trying her best, and a little child who, despite the best of intentions, can't grow up quite fast enough.There are a couple of passages where the poem loses its rhythm or has a weak rhyme. But the theme, the story, the solidarity and resonance I feel with the characters makes this a minor quibble that is easily overlooked. A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book that I have read hundreds of times, and will continue to read to my children as they grow, and to their children as they grow. (I suspect I'll use many more tissues too).
