Read this one with my kids every night. Just brilliant. 

Not only a great story of hope and kindness and friendship and how being kind and good can eventually overcome, it has provided more than one opportunity to help teach and train my kids. 

Just great. 

And the movie ain't bad either. If you don't mind crying.
