I thank whoever reproduced these little gems!!! I owned this in elementary school and saw it featured in a woman’s magazine and flipped! This book is still as great today as it was then. I bought one for my neighbor’s grandaughter and she loves it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is a great little book–not outdated in the least, even almost 40 years after it first came out. My childhood copy disintegrated years ago, but I was lucky enough to find it secondhand for my own kids, who like it as much as I did. The wildly-colored pages are a precursor to sixties “groovyness,” but the text is years before its time. I think children need to be taught to appreciate the little things in life just as much as adults. It is possible (and maybe necessary) to find satisfaction in daily situations. One of my favorite pages in the book shows Linus working on a jisaw puzzle. “Happiness is finding the little piece with the pink edge and part of the sky and the top of the sailboat.” How true!
