Miss Twiggley's Tree is a great ole time classic that both my mother and I have been able to share. This book has always been at my grandma's house and just this week i found it and was able to share it with some of my youngest cousins who fell in love with it also. My Grandma read it to my mom when it was first published, and now, i have been given it to be able to some day read it to my children.. If you are looking for a book to read to your children that they will be able to share with everyone they know, i strongly suggest this one.

This is the best children's book ever written! I read it so many times as a child I still have it memorized. Technically it was my older brother's book and I've been trying to find a copy for years. .... It's well written and illustrated and has a wonderful moral: it's okay to be different! Every child should have a copy.

This was my very favorite book as a child (in the late 60s/early 70s). I absolutely loved the pictures and the message of the book. The respect for animals and people, regardless of their differences, made an impact on me that is evident in my outlook on life today. When my husband pulled Miss Twiggley's Tree from the bookshelf of my childhood books I had (thankfully) saved to read to our two year old son, I was pleased. I was even more moved when both of them fell in love with the book themselves. When my son asks if we can read Miss Twiggley's Tree in his wonderful voice, my heart melts. I was thrilled to see it was still available. Thank you to Dorothea Warren Fox for a truly timeless story. It brings back wonderful memories and fosters hope for the future.
