In 1969 I was five years old and learning to read. "Arm in Arm" was an enigmatic treasure, and a family favorite.As I entered adulthood, our copy of "Arm in Arm" was long gone, probably falling victim to one of the impromptu 5-cent booksales my brother and I used to hold in our front yard. I couldn't find a copy in the bookstores, but never really gave up the search. When I found the book on Amazon.com, I ordered three copies. My brother and I are now in our mid 30's, but we (and hopefully someday our children) will always have this wonderful book in our lives. And of course Mom gets a copy, too!
