Preface: Be nice, I know this book is maudlin. But when I was 3 or 4 with a sister or my Mom reading it to me, it was my favorite by far and I now believe it has affected my life. It's an argument against cynicism and meanness and most of all, a statement that we all have value - large and small.
A favorite quote:
"Ever faithful, ever true. Nothing stops him, he'll get through."
