What a sweet little story. While the ending was very predictable I enjoyed the way it played out. Most of us have had that best friend who we finally realize is more.  I would recommend this short story to anyone who enjoys that sudden realization that what they need may be right next to them.

Growing up, a long, long time ago, I cut my teeth on fairytales.  I have often felt we needed more of them, not only for our children and grandchildren, but for our own enjoyment.  I must admit, many of the tales presented by the Brothers Grimm, read to me in my youth by my mother, scared me half silly, being a child with an over active imagination. (Actually, not much has changed over the years in this area).  No fear here though.  This is a delightful tale of love, friendship and the magic that is in all of us.  This is a point well made in the story.  Most, if not all, of us have that magic in us, we have it around us and it is ours to have for the taking if we just look in the right places.  This little story points that out in an absolutely delightful way.  The author's mellow syntax is an absolute delight to read and I did not find one page that did not leave plenty of room for discussion with your child or grandchild as the book is being read.  I must admit to have greatly enjoyed the style of the illustrator also, Janet Mattison-Prise.  It was executed in a manner that I find particularly pleasing.  This book, as others have pointed out, is a great bed time book or a rainy afternoon book.  I hardly think you could go wrong.  The story is pretty straight forward, the lessons learned by the little prince are quite worthwhile and it does foster the imagination.  What more could you want?  Recommend this one highly. I do hope this author gives us more of the same in the future.

This is a small, sweetly wicked little story with a clever eye-opener in the very last sentence. I enjoyed it tremendously and will look for more to have with a sip of tea.

I really enjoyed the story here.  I also have enjoyed all before this.  I am keeping up with the town because it is a typical little town and everyone is willing to help each.  You don't find this today.  Its nice to remember how it used to be..

What a sweet, funny little story!  I was looking for a children's book for some friends and my sister told me about this one.  I loved it, and so did my little friends.  Thank you!

The children in this story are amazing people.  This story solidifies the fact that 'some people are not meant to have children'.  I loved that the hardships that the children had to overcome DID NOT break their spirit for a better life.  It made me appreciate the little things!

This is a wonderful little story ~ "little" because its topic is small, personal, close. Not a crime story per se, not about criminals but about ordinary folk who fall tragically out of line from the ordinary. Even Inspector Sejer seems quite ordinary with his mild case of exzema and his quiet mourning of a dead wife.

As a crime novel this lacks heavy drama and graphic violence. I appreciated that. I prefer subtlety to crass action. Even the beating toward the end is minimised for effect rather than drawn out for drama. As a people story it flows with characters who pull you along. The opening chapter and the last two pages are as understated, and as hair-raising and deeply ironic, as anything I have ever read.

Fossum's writing style, even in translation, comes across as thoughtful and spare. The only shortcoming that bothered me were the repeated and repeated background facts of the dead girl's personality, character, and the circumstances around her mysterious death. Three times okay -- four times, five times, six times = too much. A small criticism.

I appreciated the easy read, and Fossum's fine perception of the human condition.

I've already ordered other titles by Karin Fossum.

Colleen Hoover, you are a clever little cookie! I loved this story. I must admit it was not at all what I thought it would be when I chose to read it though. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did find it predictable at times, but that doesn't bother me when the story itself, whether predicable or not, is SOOOO GOOOD.

What a nice little story!  I did enjoy the book and as I am reading, thinking this is a great story for "tweens".  We have a special needs child in our family and Benny is a perfect (not almost perfect) character to have had responsibility for a puppy like Breaker.  The story runs true in a lots of ways.  Kids do perform when given the responsibility.  They grow up in their minds and look at  adults differently.  You root for the boy all the way to the end and for Bess, too.  It would be a good book to take on a vacation ... it is easy to read, easy to pick up where you left off with no pressure to re-read some.

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a story of life and how a simple little seed can grow to be productive and important. A tale of old that can be interpreted in many ways. It can mean a little thing can be important and make a difference in the lives of others. It can also mean that God is the Creator of all things big and small. It can also mean that we should nurture our plants to enable them to grow to enrich our lives. There may be other interpretations of this simple but sweet story.

The author told the story simply with clever illustrations for children to enjoy. I think the simplicity of the story will appeal to very young children and early readers.

I was given this book for an honest and unbiased review. I would recommend this lovely little book.

Just a beautiful little story. Some of her scenes as a child did seem a bit repetitive. Still, it left me with a feeling that I knew the characters, and was happy for them.
