Whenever someone asks me to recommend a book that is not a young children’s book, this is the one. THE ONE. I cannot tell you how many times people have found a scrap of paper or a napkin to write down the name of this book, because I was passionate, nearly frantic to tell them the book I loved the most. This review is terrific. Thank you, Mischenko.

I really enjoy Kate’s books. We did this one for our school book club and for the most part the kids really liked it.
My favorite! The kindergarteners love her Mercy Watson books.
This looks really good, Jennie. I had never heard of it, so thanks for the introduction.
Best wishes, Pete.
A winner of a story, Pete. Best to you.
I’ve not heard of it Jennie – I will tell the Mrs.
Thanks, Opher. It’s a winner.
I love, love, love this book. It is definitely a children’s book for adults. Mischenko writes a great review!!
I recommend the book to adults more than to children. Yes, Mischenko’s review was terrific! I am actually going to hear Kate DiCamillo speak on Friday!!! I’m taking along my worn copy for her to (hopefully) sign. Best to you, Darlene. 🙂
Lucky you!! I look forward to your post telling us about the talk.
Definitely I will!! I feel incredibly lucky, Darlene. I hope I don’t cry… 🙂
It’s OK. Go ahead and cry!!
I just spent the evening reading her newest book, Louisiana’s Way Home. Oh, my! And it’s okay to cry. ❤️
A great book! Love Kate DiCamillo!
Hear hear! 😀
oh sounds like a beautiful book
It is! 🙂
Definitely on my ‘to read’ list – thanks for the timely recommendation, Jennie!
A pleasure, Laura. You won’t be disappointed.
Sounds great! Love such stories too. Thank you for the recommendation, Jennie! Wish you a great week with a lot of fun. Michael
You are welcome, Michael. Best to you!
Thank you Jennie! You too! 🙂 Michael
