I have loved this story ever since I first read it to my children when they were young. I still have it in my home because it reminds me of how a mother's love for her child is one of the strongest feelings anyone can have.
That feeling doesn't fade away or disappear simply because they grow up. Even when you realize that it is important to let them go, there are times when you really feel like the mother in the story.
This is a wonderful reading of the story which includes all of the pictures. As usual, it made me cry at the end. I hope it has the same impact on you.
Play it for your children, often. They will grow to love it as much as mine did. It isa wonderful way for you and your children to to practice your English listening together.
