    The item was exactly as described. It is wonderful condition, no damage to the item at all. I was concerned about shipping as fragile items shipped to Hawai’i are treated very brutally. That being said, the item was very well protected with several layers of bubble wrap and shipping paper. Adding fragile labels and do not crush would make for perfection. Shipping charges, were pretty good, pretty, pretty good. Very much as if an applied tariff, though. All-in-all, a good transaction.

    Best book to teach charity

    I bought this book for my grandchildren after owning my own copy for many years. It teaches selfless giving and my 8 and 11 year old grandsons loved it.

    One of my favorites growing up!

    My son loves this book. Just like I did. I also love the author. I have bought a few of his other books and I'm sure I still have a few put away.

    All-time classic

    This book is one of those rare tales that works wonderfully for a bedtime read by mom or dad, or the child - but delivers a very sophisticated and adult life lesson about the price of taking too much without giving back. It's an allegory about resources of every kind - emotional or natural - and how they can so easily be depleted and never regained...
