Blue isn't exactly sure what tarts and cobblers are but shudders sympathetically anyway and comes up with a plan-an elaborate variation on leapfrog-to liberate his new friend. His kindness is more than repaid when, with her rapturous appreciation of the world he takes for granted, she opens his eyes to the beauty around him. Aware of her fragility, he extends every tenderness, for however much forever is left to them. Children understand implicitly that love is a tangible act and no mere abstraction; this story, with its subtle and evocative illustrations, will enhance that intuition. \u003ci\u003eFamily Fun Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren's Books\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing Up \u0026amp; Facts of Life\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriendship, Social Skills \u0026amp; School Life\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eFriendship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Dragonfly Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":49144872632510,"sku":"0679890955-3","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81W6qfbaMDL.jpg?v=1790268671","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0679890955-peach_and_blue_dragonfly_books","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
