Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This beautifully written masterpiece by Billy C. Clark captures the innocence of a child and the childs love of animals. The tender and eloquent way that Billy C. Clark weaves the words is that of a master. This should be a "must read" book for all students in elementary and high school. The way that Mr. Clark deals with life and death, if only we could be so lucky to explain it to our own children that way. This is only one of the many books available by Mr. Clark. He is a gifted master and poet and his books should fill all shelves of your home.
