I decided to use this book with some of my students primarily because it was written at an easy reading level, and because my school had multiple copies of it (so in my reading group, every student could get their own copy.)
I'd not heard of this book before, but it looks like a classic. And according to Wikipedia, it was first published in 1976. When I started searching around for more information, I quickly discovered many people on the Internet claim to have fond memories of this book.
The other thing that quickly pops up when searching for information about this book is that it turns out that this is one of Jordan Peterson's favorite books. He's got a whole 40 minute lecture on it.
As for me, I don't remember this book from childhood at all. Somehow I must have missed it. But it's a short, but charming little story, and it worked fine in my class.
