This book was known by every child in my country. I was delighted to discover that some people in the US know about it too -- I wish there were much more of them, and this is why I came searching for it in order to give a few copies to the people I care about. I briefly read the reviews (I don't need a review for myself, I feel this book) and many were talking about either entertainment or fiction. I'd like to make a statement that this book is none of the two, but something that just can't be classified, like a true masterpiece can't. This book is something that stands way out from any other children's products that I've seen and that money can buy.
