I bought this book new back in the early 80's, and have read it a few times since then. I mostly enjoy the story, even if it does seem a bit simplistic to me these days.

It took me two tries to read this book. The first time, it was just so cute and bubbly I nearly puked (I picked it up because I liked the author). The second time I picked it up, I realized what age group it was targeting, and then it didn't bother me as much.
This story has a strange mixture of being incredibly...
