  • Awesome

    Great book. I read it as a child and now I am reading it to my daughter. I don’t know what it is about this book that I liked as a child but it is so amazing to find out my daughter loves it as well. Thank you for having it on eBay.

  • Amazing!!

    The book came fast and I had no problems whatsoever. The book doesn’t appear to be used from the outside with the exception of a small scratch, and the spine is completely intact. Only one page on the inside had some pencil on it but everything else was perfect. The book is at a great value!!
