Seller's Description:
The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly. All pages and cover are intact (including the dust cover, if applicable). Spine may show signs of wear. Pages may include limited notes and highlighting. May NOT include discs, access code or other supplemental materials.
The original title should have stuck. The story seems fine until the very end, when Auntie, who cannot get a smile out of Baby, declares that she "will go away and never come back"......and then Baby finally smiles. This is a horrible message for children, and the reader has no clue until the end. I ended up apologizing to my 2 year old for it. I gave it one star because I had to give it a star at all. Otherwise I would have given it no stars.
