It was out of print for a long time and I admit my preschool students and I were practically hysterical with excitement when we learned the book was going to be reprinted and released again. That excitement was quickly dashed though when we read and compared the original copy (one I'd purchased on ebay) to the new book and saw that they'd made some changes to the original story!<br /><br />the changes aren't drastic, they skip a word or two here and it was a great lesson for the kids about what editing is and how things change over time (the spiderman of my youth is not the spiderman of theirs). But we all agreed the original was better.mitsuenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-36777343607846931712009-08-18T21:11:58.775-05:002009-08-18T21:11:58.775-05:00You should read (or see the Weston Woods video of)...You should read (or see the Weston Woods video of) The Beast of Monsieur Racine next! :)Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850842544444497385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-74753698159437240982009-05-11T14:22:00.000-05:002009-05-11T14:22:00.000-05:00oh Tomi Ungerer is right up there in my top five i...oh Tomi Ungerer is right up there in my top five illustrators.

Beautiful!

My mum still has it somewhere, falling apart and taped back together from being read so often.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274422838031555715noreply@blogger.com
