Review: Favorite childhood story - This was a childhood favorite of mine. My son loves it as well. I should’ve read the size on the book because it came much smaller than I was hoping for.
Review: This is the edition to get -- it is the original text and drawings - With so many purchase choices of this book, which one is the "right" one? Well, if you are looking for the book you remember from childhood, it is this one. It's the same size as the one you remember and has the same drawings. (Everything will come flooding back as soon as you crack the book open!) It is a facsimile of what was originally published in 1930. Also: some reviews believe the text has been rewritten to carry a "feminist" message. That is nonsense. Regardless if you see this text in terms of feminism, this is, in fact, the same text as the 1930 edition. Yes, the engine that could -- the blue one -- is identified as "her." I didn't remember that being an issue when I read this as a child and I very much doubt most children will see that today. If you want to gift a child a memory that you had years ago, it is with this particular edition.
