Looking for Atlantis was my son's favorite book growing up. He is 18 years old now and still has his original copy which he intends to read to his own children some day. So it was a natural choice for my young nephew. The visual effects are incomparable. It has to be the premier book for keeping a child's interest and stimulating their imagination. The story is bittersweet, and shares life's realities about a grandparents death, but it is handled lovingly and with great care to keep the focus on the wonder of LIVING. I can not say enough about this book. A real treasure!
