Personal Rating- 5

Every child has an item that is like a security net to them. I had a blanket when I was little that I took with me everywhere. When my parents finally took it away from me I cried. It took me a long time to adjust to not being able to have it at bedtime. This is a good book for all children to read because they can relate with it.
