review 1: This book was such a dramatic change of pace from everything I've read recently that I was surprised by it. It was absolutely beautiful.Told from the perspective of Nell's father, this collection of short stories are a perfect reminder that childhood is available to anyone brave enough to go out and take it. I felt like I had rediscovered childhood as an adult and came to realize that it is never out of reach. The stories emanate a warm, loving atmosphere conducive to creating smiles and satisfaction.This is not an action packed page turner, but rather a thoughtful exploration of the important things in life. It is the type of book that you will want to read slowly, digesting each word and absorbing their meanings. It is a book that will leave you pondering and inspired... more to find joy in everyday miracles.Please, treat yourself to this book. review 2: This is a book of great short stories that highlight the innocence and humor often found with children. Nell is a very bright and inquisitive child who views the world with all the wonder and delight of childhood.The stories in this book are:The Sun ZebraBob the Intrepid InsectnautRaven-LenoreThe Meaningless Christmas TreeBirdman and The Fairy TaleThis is a great little book that will definitely leave you smiling. less
