Summary: Arm in Arm is a precious and life enhancing book for all.
Review: My mom read this book to me when I was little in the late 1960's, and to this day it is one of my favorite books. I have cherished the original copy, moving from my mom's home to four other cities, always mindful of which box it's packed away in. An original copy is a family heirloom--no joke. The way it made me laugh, and really sparked my imagination was incredible. Here's my favorite(quoted from memory and not verbatim): (Picture a bunch of kids crammed into one bed) It's better to be in a warm bed on a cold day looking out at the cold snow than to be out in the cold snow on a cold day looking in at a warm bed. Something like that. I loved this book. Please share it with your children. And if you have the opportunity, get an old copy because the paper stock was incredible and it was bound, but most of all, the illustrations were beautiful.

Summary: The BEST and the WACKIEST
Review: Shhh. Don't tell, but when my sister permanently nabbed this book from our childhood bookshelf, I took one out of the library and never returned it, just because I had to have my very own copy. Isn't that awful!?! OK, so now it's reprinted and I buy about ten of them. One for each sister and all my best friends and every child I know that has a right to enter the words and images of this wild thing -- Remi Charlip. This is a book to lose yourself in, regardless of age. LOVE IT!

Summary: The Endless Tale
Review: Sublime, inspirational, fun, funny, and ultimately, true. That's what I now think of "Arm in Arm," the book that my grandparents gave me some 25 years ago. When I was young, I had no idea how much it meant to me - just that it was a cool book that I would read over and over. I loved the drawings; the fun rhymes; the inventiveness it carries. Re-reading it as an adult, though, gave me a deeper appreciation of the themes. It has the social parodies found in between the lines of Lewis Carrol, the wit and humour of Wilde, the surrealist vision of Dali, and even more! It remains, to this day, one of my favourite books to reread. (Thank you, Remy Charlip!)

Summary: A Favorite of Mine
Review: This was my favorite book as a child. When the library sold the copy I used to read, I was lucky enough to purchase it. It's a delightful combination of illustration and poetry, with the text being part of the artwork.

Summary: HILAROUS!
Review: We had this book in the 1970s and searched for years to find it. Finally back in print, we bought several copies, even gave one to Rosie O'Donnell

Summary: My Brother & I's Favorite Book Growing Up
Review: When this book was recently re-published, I was thrilled to find one of my best childhood companions. Remi Charlip is a ray of sunlight, full of rainbows and beautiful imagination. There were things written in this book that my little brother and I were still saying 20 years later. The illustrations, which are colorful and sweet is a child's dream... and an adult's! I found that as a child of the 60's this book was a classic, quick witted and endlessly amusing. A book with no beginning or end, it's one of those hang out books that you can just sit and take in. Very much on the vein of Dr. Seuss books, but more elaborate and peaceful and pretty. Remi has the heart of a child and his books speak to all. Truly memorable and fun to read to kids, afterall, you are only as young as you feel! This book is a portal back to the innocence and sheer essence of imagination, truly a great book. Absolutely tremendous, not to be missed by child or adult. I thank Remi Charlip for helping me keep the child within alive. Amazing, amazing, amazing... My mum did a great job picking out books for us, thank you! And it is a steal at the price, the book is published beautifully, nice paper, colorful illustrations, a real keeper.
