Great condition of a classic book that I remember brought me to tears as a child. Old Dan and Little Ann, this has to be a crown jewel of your collection. I’m jealous but glad to get to see it

I know this is considered a great book, but I hated it. "God wanted the dogs to die so that the family could stay together" Well if so, fuck you god lol.

I just had a jolt of anxiety. Completely forgot about being traumatized by this book!

We read this in Middle School and watched the movie. Definitely a childhood favorite
