Thirteen

Summary: magical journey in a unique visually fantastic format...
Review: My father gave me this book when I was ten (the year it was published) and it has been my most treasured childhood book since...into adulthood. Through countless moves, without conscious effort, this book has stayed with me, and always delights me each time I open it. It is always relevant in it's irrelevance...you will see. Now that I have a child and neices, etc. I have been trying to find it to give to others...I am amazed to discover through reading other accounts at Amazon that this "unknown" little gem has had such impact on other readers. If you can find it, hesitate not a moment - buy it and share it.

Summary: A brilliant and delightful book
Review: There's nothing else like _Thirteen_ in the whole world, and that's sad. Sad because such delightful watercolors and quirky "stories" are told in a wonderful way that one has to figure out on one's own. The book is simultaneously a puzzle, a picture book, a book of optical illusions, a book of stories, and so much more. Hunt it down and adore it; you'll know what I'm talking about.

Summary: My favorite book: It's like coming home!
Review: Thirteen is my favorite book of all time. I have had it since it was published in 1975 and it has moved with me for 25 years and 11 moves! I have thought to streamline my life and get rid of some things, but this book is a necessity in my household! It inspires and comforts--it is a work of art!
