Ange (USA: NJ) (2007/01/07): This book is one of two I believe to be responsible for my love and passion for literature. I'd reccomend it for adults as well as kids.
Geophile (Canada) (2009/03/10): One of my all-time favourite children's books. I think it was one of the early influences, not only on my love of reading, but also on my enjoyment of gardening.
I am only giving this up for mooch because I was given a new, hard cover, deluxe edition.
