A Special Trade

Rating:
Summary: This is truly my daughter's and my favorite book!
Review: Despite its size, this book contains a big message. It tells of two people, one young and one not, who through the "trading" of care and kindness, grow to love one another.

Summary: A Fantastic Childrens Book
Review: I'm not sure how I got my copy of this book, but it has always been one of my favorites. I have had it since I was a little girl, and I was trying to get hold of a copy to give as a present to my niece, and also one to keep for when I have my own children. I suppose the fact that I am going to have to make do with the tatty old copy I have makes it all the more precious, and I'll be sure to keep it safe! I think its a lovely story and one all children should have the opportunity to read.

Summary: Heart-warming story
Review: I, too, first heard this book read on Capt. Kangaroo. I often checked it out of the library to read to my two young children. My father would push them in their strollers. He walked along when they learned to ride bikes and roller skate. Now at 76 years old, he is suffering from Parkinson's and has to be pushed in a wheelchair. My grandson, his great-grandson, loves to help push him. I want to get a copy of this book to read to my father and give to my grandson as a special memory.

Summary: A sweet story of 2 friends sharing natural changes in life
Review: My daughter, Sarah (4), and I truly enjoyed this book. It was a nice story of two friends with a distance of time between them becoming independent and dependent. A Special Trade is a book that would especially bring a smile to a little girl with a special grandpa or a grandpa with a special little girl

Summary: Great book...
Review: This was one of my favorite books when I was a little girl. My mom and I used to go to the library just to get it and I always knew exactly where it was in the library. I don't know why we never just bought it. I guess being a library book made it more special. Recently (about 20 years later) I thought I'd surprise my mom with a used copy. First I couldn't find a copy and now I see this book is going for [$$$] I think we should be ashamed of ourselves for exploiting a beautiful children's story, ironically written about love and generosity, and turning it into what everything else seems to have become, an empty, profit-driven shame. I'd reccomend this book very highly anytime-- at a reasonable price.
