Title: Wishing this was the RIGHT STORY
Review: Received the mini edition of this book (the large version being difficult to find) for Christmas. The story is completely different from the story we've rented at the library, i'm assuming a "more" original version. It seems to have been americanized by Floris Press or whoever it was that decided to re-write this story and put names to all the children and animals and take the beauty out of reading it in verse. If I would have received this book not having read the one we love, I would have just chalked it up to a so-so/boring children's book with pretty illustrations. PLEASE do yourself the favor of finding the actual Children of the Forest book- the story in this one bums me out. I wrote to Nova Natural who is the only retailer I'm aware of that carries the large version, and am awaiting a reply on whether theirs is the correct story...
