Title: DON"T BUY THIS BOOK!
Review: Stop! Don't buy this book!What Amazon/Random House FAILS explain is that this is NOT the original text, as written in 1989.Half the original verse is missing!And, whatever IS there, is out of sequence and makes no sense at all.It is completely awful.Shame on Random House!The original book, copywrite 1989, is wonderful, a rare delight. We have our taped-up copy, still, and even though our kids are way too old for it, we will never give this one away. It was an all-time favorite in our house for many, many years.The prose on the original book is lovely, with a musical cadence, and my husband and I can still recite the words.This new "chunky" book is an abomination.Oh, and the original was Made in America. Sigh. Those were the days.
