Kid's Book Review

I have had the idea of a kids book group simmering on the back burner for several months. Unfortunately, I have too many ideas simmering there and not enough time. Solution? Blog a group! Take a few minutes and do book reviews for a few kids books and take some time to browse those already done. Then, once a month, add a few more. Feel free to add your comments to books you have read that have already been reviewed. When you do your review, please do one book per post, and use the scale on the right to rate your book. Add whatever additional information you would like!

I love stumbling on a great book. Joy brought this home from the library, and I fell in love. It is about an old man and woman who have almost nothing but each other but are happy anyway. One day, they find a pot in their garden and discover that it doubles whatever you put in it. After increasing modestly on their modest possessions and making a fun discovery, they decide they are happy and bury the pot for someone else to find. It really is a delightful book!
