My sons and I adored these books. In addition to being moved to tears by these stories, I agree with Nancy about The Dot and Angelo. I will add to my list of weepy reads: Hugo Cabret (review to follow soon) and Kamishibai Man by Allen Say.

Publisher says ages 4-7 for Willoughby and 4-8 for Tommaso. Sounds about right to me.

When the Wind Blew makes me cry, for no reason deeper than: being elderly and alone with only cats for company would be a hard life. Something about the pace of it and the snug illustrations.

What age would you say Tommaso is for, other than this 30-something mama? Looks wonderful.

I love your book reviews. There are so many cheesey children’s books to sort through and your choices help me cut through all of that.
