[.ca] Dandelion (ISBN 0140502181)

Warm and Happy Childhood Memories:
Dandelion brings back such happy memories for me. I think I checked that book out of the library every Saturday as a child. It taught me that it is ok to be who I am. Kind of a childs view of "To thine own self be true". I know there are many wonderful new children's books out there. This is a classic that should not be missed, by anyone, young or old. If I had a nickel for each time my mother read this book to me--I would be a millionaire for sure--but I am richer by far in warm memories from that wonderful time. Get this book--you won't regret it.

Great Book:
My two year old loves the book. She is also a big fan of Cordury, and a Pocket for Cordury, two other great books by Don Freeman.

Fancy clothes don't make you dandy!:
What a lovely children's book!...I love the simple illustrations and the sweet story which is a lot of fun to read to a toddler with a wonderful lesson for us all: Fancy clothes don't make you dandy, it's what's inside that makes us special!...

Dandelion:
I really like this book, because the lion is an great person who do what ever it takes just to make him look good or to make his fiends feel happy.

A Wonderful Book for Both Parents and Kids:
"Come as you are," says the invitation to Jennifer Giraffe's taffy-and-tea party. But Dandelion decides to make himself over -- and to his surprise, no one is impressed. A good lesson for children (and their parents) on the nature of true friendship and genuineness, and the folly of appearing to be someone you're not. This is a terrific book. One of my daughter's favorites, not to mention to mine!
