One of my most heart-touching moments as a bookseller came when I was fairly new at this business.
I got a phone call about a children's book that a lady was looking for. She wasn't sure the title was right, but asked if I could pull the book and she would tell me the text she could remember. So I grab the book, open it up and tell her to state what she remembered.
She quoted the first three pages of that book verbatim. She told me that she last read the book forty years ago, but it was her very favorite children's book. And then she began to cry because she had found it again.
It took a bit to get back to finishing up that order, but I knew the book was going to a good home!
Never give up on your search for a favorite child's book!
