First of all, I'd like to say I absolutely...

First of all, I'd like to say I absolutely love the wrapping of the book. From the map wrapping paper, to the twine, and finally a little cutie with the tassel, I felt like a little kid was about to go on a great adventure. that's the way I always did feel about books when I was little, and this book, my mother had an addition when she was just a little girl, I believe from the 1930s. I love to read that book, there's even a picture of me sitting on my grandfather's lap with him reading out loud from this book to me. It looks as though it's a different illustrator what the theme of each picture is very close to what I remember My mother's book had glossy plates of the illustrations in in the book. Thank you so much for both the book and the experience of unwrapping it oh, and most importantly the memories.
