Reviews

• "Wonderful story about a grade school boy who desperately wants to look like someone else, and in the end learns to love himself just the way he is. Wonderful way for children to learn respect and self-esteem." - Amazon.com User Review
• "One of my all time favorite books as a child. I can't remember how many times I read it, but I remember always enjoying it. I was tempted more than once to make that fearful concoction!" Goodreads User Review
