Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I bought this book for my children hoping to enoble their hearts with the wisdom that one may have to travel far to value what he already has near. The book started out ok but I found the ending terribly disappointing, as if a literal treasure is the cure-all for one's poverty and troubles. I had to read this book a least a dozen times to see if I was missing something. I just can't figure out why anyone would like it. Please enlighten me.

Summary: Down-to-earth wisdom woven throughout a dreamy visual treat
Comment: On the topic of unexpected blessings, I happened on this little gem of a find several years ago, and have treasured it as one of my all-time favorite picture books ever since. Breathtaking, rich watercolor illustrations in soft, earthy hues lend a dreamy feeling to the text, which can be appreciated equally as well (if not better) by adults as children. I like to read into it the gentle reminder that sometimes the greatest treasures (happiness, fulfillment, love) can be found where we least expect them, and may not be so far away as we are wont to imagine.

Summary: A treasure in an unexpected place.
Comment: This short children's story is about an elderly man who is told in a dream to travel a long distance to a city to find a treasure. He finds it in an unexpected place; not where he expected. A book that children will enjoy for a long time. The book was a 1980 Caldecott Honor book (i.e., a runner-up to the Medal winner) for best illustrations in a book for children.
