Sarah S commented on Jul 18 11 at 1:52 pmI purchased this last week, and it’s amazing. The focus on the marketing has been on the technology of the book (which is mind-boggling and smile inducing), but they don’t seem to mention that it is a really, really sweet story. I felt myself even getting a little misty at the end. It’s beautiful, and it’s worth the money.

Jen A commented on Jul 24 11 at 2:11 pmThank you for sharing this! I viewed William Joyce’s artwork for the book when it was showcased in our hometown. What an extraordinary mind and vision! Love the sweet story and how he used “Pop Goes the Weasel”.
Tracy Elaine commented on Aug 12 11 at 2:18 amI told my dad about this book figuring my brother’s kids would get a kick out of it, and give them something else to do with my dad’s iPad besides play Angry Birds. I got an email from my dad yesterday saying he hadn’t shown it to the kids yet, but he’s sure enjoying it himself! He’d love to see more like it! :)
