I checked this book out from the library time and time again as a child. It was just awesome! Another book I enjoyed and still have today is Porcupine Stew about a boy who follows a porcupine into a field and comes out in a town of animals. I highly recommend both books!
Beautiful book!

I have owned this book since I was a yong child and has always been one of my favorites. It has all of the trimmings, a wickid step mother and all!
