The Important Book
What's This Book About
The important thing about THE IMPORTANT BOOK–is that you let your child tell you what is important about the sun and the moon and the wind and the rain and a bug and a bee and a chair and a table and a pencil and a bear and a rainbow and a cat (if he wants to). For the important thing about THE IMPORTANT BOOK is that the book goes on long after it is closed.
