They're just plain old lovable. Bright colors, printed on sturdy stock, in a very cheery and uplifting picture. 'Who' are these personable guys? Even the trees look happy to be there! And the verse is perfect for readers of all ages.  So special it was awarded two beads on its' tassel,  instead of the usual one bead on others. I got one for my Mom's stocking, and then reordered one for myself. The plastic, protective sleeve it comes in will keep it around a long time, even when it's not between the pages of your latest read. And putting the whole thing into a plastic bag for secure shipping in a padded envelope makes it even better. Recommend.
