The Green Book (Sunburst Book)

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful and effectively simple
Review: This is an extraordinary book. It is written for children, but it appeals as well to adults. Its plot may seem simplistic and childish, but it deftly illustrates the beauty of family and life, prevailing in a survival situation. The setting is imaginative, and while the end leaves you wanting more, the story seems metaphoric for an utopian society. I read this book for the first time in fifth grade, and have been reading this book at least once every other year; it is an enchanting children's story, but every time I read it I gather something more.
