This book was an anniversary gift for my 5th wedding anniversary. My husband and I walked down the aisle to this song. I have sung it as a lullaby since my first child was born. It is much the same as Puff the Magic Dragon in the sentimental value. My children love this book. Though I love it too, I do think the people are a little bit odd looking. Their head seem a bit out of proportion to their bodies. It is really a matter of personal preference for the art, but I have many illustrators I enjoy more. The story is sweet, and as a mother I can barely make it through the book without crying and imagining my own 3 girls growing up. Singing the song always brings back good memories. This book almost seems like it is more for parents than children, but will be remembered by the children and hopefully, sung for generations to come.
