![]() ![]() Krauss had children make suggestions and revisions before completing this little novelty. My 1969 copy has fanciful black and white penned drawings with barn-red ink to describe what is going on. This small book with its celery green cover and whimsical but simple drawings is a must-have for the adult with young children. Unlike many adults that I know, I am continuous with my child self. ![]() It is substantially the words of children, the logic of children, the wisdom of children. It was my first and most enduring guide to life, the universe and everything. There is no rhyme, there is no story, there is no blatant attempt to tear at emotion or plant a moral seed - to manipulate the reader.Īfter 'Pat the Bunny', this was my first real book - half a century ago. ![]() Others seemed to have been charmed by a phrase or Sendak's drawings and then surmised that it must be for children - for their sheer delight, as a philosophical primer, for their enjoyment, but not for adults. A handful of people hate this book flat out.I suspect but do not know that they never made castles out of their Golden Books or gasped at night as they stared into the night sky and thought about how truly small they were as a speck on the crust of a planet spinning around in the universal equivalent of the back 40 of a single galaxy. I looked at the 1-3 star reviews of Ruth Krauss' book here, at Amazon, Library Thing etc. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() McCaffrey suggested to read the Harper Hall series prior to reading the next book (The White Dragon), so while I await that series to come to me, I'll have to go on to something else. they spoke more about what happened to Kylara and like.did Meron just have a chip on his shoulder? what was his deal? What happened to him? I fell like there were some key points not wrapped up here, just kinda left.-the idea of different types of abilities was more fleshed out (like Jaxom and Brekke's abilities to hear any dragon) other than these small things, I loved this book. I wish.-there was more Lessa in this book and her psychic abilities (which should be way more useful than they are used) -i had a better understanding of how they move between times, because why could they not have stopped the lady dragon fight if they can time travel?
