We own an old copy of this book, which was originally published in 1939! Before the story begins, we are given a little history of how the story came to be, which adds to the enjoyment (as least for me, the adult!).

Did you grow up watching the claymation version like I did? Well, don’t be surprised that it strays from the original. Compare the two and see which your family likes better!
