This was one of my favorite books as a kid, I gave it to my niece as a Christmas present and she loved it just as much.  Very sweet story.

The classic storyline has not been modified or altered.  The pictures cover the entire page and are filled with interesting detail.  This is a great book to read aloud for story time, especially when you do the voices. My 18mo old son and I like to read the story once and then just flip through a second time to study the pictures the and point out objects.  I'm surprised how difficult it seems to find classic stories that are not cheaply done or rewritten. The author/illustrator has done an excellent job dusting off this old classic.

Lovely prose and beautiful illustrations with a timeless story of friendship and letting go.  We've only had the book a couple of weeks and my children have already referred back to the story during day to day adventures.

One of my favorite stories to watch every Thanksgiving with my kids. We just stumbled upon it at our Public library one day in the mid 90's.
Love sharing it with my 3rd grade class. It is a story that transcends time and generations. In this is age of mounting racial tensions it is a great story to remind us all that there are many modern day pilgrims...each with their own story.

Greg's descriptions of the Utah sage lands painted a beautiful picture of the rugged landscape.  The story is timeless, a story of love, religion, revenge and the desire of man to control others lives for their own purposes. A classic!

No wonder so widely read beautifully written, story is sometimes a little far fetched but characters like old friends make it totally credible. Timeless !

I very much enjoyed The Clock of Life. In fact, I purchased a copy after borrowing it from a friend so that I could re-read it. The story of Jason Lee is a timeless one, a story that could be told from any background of a boy growing up and trying to find his way in life without a father. However, Klann-Moren places Jason Lee's story in the south after the Vietnam war. Her ability to create his world, complete with correct dialect and food that reminds me of my southern mom's cooking, is impressive. The Vietnam war and civil rights protests of the sixties carry the story of Jason Lee and his family along in a wave of timelessness. I definitely recommend The Clock of Life. It's a fast, engrossing read, with a warm human story.

A Timeless, Heart-warming Classic, this book was first published, more than a half century ago! Although written in a more innocent time, and for a different audience (pre-"Computer- Age" generation), it still maintains its' Charming, Coming-of-Age, Friendship Theme!

This story was first read to me, by my third/fourth grade teacher(1960's)! I am now a grandmother, with a six year old grandson, and this Wonderful book has been added to his library!

For those few people who disliked this book, they either lack imagination or heart (or both)! Perhaps a book such as "Animal Farm" would be more to their liking, but then too, they would still need imagination!

Also, I found the movie (Charlotte's Web)Delightful! Yet, another timeless treasure!

Thank You!

This was one of my favorite books when i was a pre-teen. The story is timeless and I enjoyed re-reading it as an adult. I am going to keep it in my collection forever, that way when I have a daughter of my own she can read it and hopefully enjoy it as much as I do.

What a very lovely well written story. Mimi demonstrates a wide range of story telling ability in her new book.  This is a true traditional romance story with a timeless message. Your beauty is on the inside, be all you can be and don't let anyone ever take that way.  The sexual tension is pulsing with quick witty dialogue. And, as with all her books, some interesting twists that will make you read the story, without stopping, to the end. My kinda book.

Awesome cultural heritage story.  Easy to relate to for all ages.  Classic story with many good talking points with kids regarding history, relationships and mending of broken relationships.
