      My children really enjoyed me reading this aloud at bedtime. I found it a little repetitive; it seems like every chapter ends with "joining hands together in a ring and dancing round and round and round and kicking up their heels and laughing until they tumbled down in a heap." I much prefer the author's other longer and more complex children's books, such as The Secret Garden. But this book is meant for younger children and has a good message about staying positive and taking care of your toys, not just getting the next great thing.

      My gran used to read this book to me when I went to stay at her house. I remember it to this day and the memories are very fond.

      Just a cute, old-fashioned story from one of the best!
