What a wonderful book. It is a simple, playful, allegorical story about the phases of life, and aging. There is very little text per page. And the pictures are large and expressive. It is comical, adorable, and exceptionally wise---but not for everyone. It is a wise and classy tale. Because it touches on a universal but difficult subject (namely, aging), it is not for everyone. In my opinion, it is an instant classic. But you want to read it first before giving it as a gift.

Charming, zany, crazy, sensible, understanding, funny, scary. Actually, it's a kid's book for adults. It's about parental reactions to raising a child and man-oh-man is it ever clever! And the illustrations are scintillating and superb, and just right! Buy it.

This book brings hope to the mayhem of parenting.

It’s a wonderful story of growing upBeautifully illustrated by a master.

Completely delightful, in a somewhat Kafka-esque sort of way. Anyone with children will immediately relate. I have bought it for many friends with new babies. My 2-year-old son also really likes it, though in some ways it seems more for parents than for children.

The book is witty, illustrations are charming and we love it.

This is one of the best children's books there is. As much fun for parents as it is for kids and so true. You can tell I am pleased by the way I clatter my beak!

This book should be required reading (and re-reading) for all parents. The illustrations are also priceless. We very highly recommend this book.
