Wow!! I can't believe I actually found this book!! I haven't read it since grade four. The first time I heard this book, my grade three teacher, Mrs. Deanne Pilchak, read it to my class. From that moment on I was in love with it!! I am now in grade 11 and after my teacher moved, after grade four, I hadn't heard about this book!! I really hope to buy this book because it is not only a great book, it's filled to the rim with memories for me!! Thank you so much for having it on here!!

The one & only book I ever read cover to cover until I was out of school!

Seriously... my Great Gramma gave me this book when I was 8 (when it first came out - she knew Pierre Berton, but thought he was a little too high on himself. hehe..) But I am glad she got the book anyway because altho' it is his only children's book (that I'm aware of) I LOVED it! and still do. I read this book over & over again. I still have the original (this cover is the reprint). I would highly recommend this for the 8-12 year old on your list this year. Of course, there is a cartoon… + read more

I remember sneaking into the school library when I was 9 years old, finding this book on the shelf, and even though I was a much more advanced reader, loving the book more than any thing else I had ever read. I returned the tattered book to the library, but days later wanted to read it again! Unfortunately it was gone from the library, never to return. I've been searching for this book for years. It's absolutely amazing, and I recommend it to anyone. I mean, it would have to be, for… + read more

I have been waiting for 30 years

I read this book in school and remember it as being fantastic, it influenced a lot of my drawings at the time. I've often thought about it over the years and wondered if it was still in print. I ran across it today and have ordered it. I can't wait to read it as an adult!

My class just finished reading "The Secret World of Og". Ohhhh, I really liked that book because the story were as if it were magic. The drawings are so colouful! I wish Mr.Berton could write another children's book just as magical.

Timeless

My fourth grade teacher, Miss McCarthy, read this book to my class a chapter at a time each day, I read a public library copy the same way to my two youngest sons who loved it as much as I did. I purchased last week, a copy as a gift for my grandson whom I imagine will love it as much as the rest of us. When I read it aloud to the children I often had to stop to contain my own laughter in order to continue. I hope that it never goes out of print.

Excellent

I discovered this book through my children, read it to them, and I think I enjoyed it more myself than they did. This has got to be the best children's book ever written. My children have enjoyed this book emmensely, reading it over again themselves and having me read it, that I have it on order. We were continually renewing this book from the library, I thought it best that we own our own copy.
