Puffin Momo

Great little book. If everybody read this book we would live in a better world.

Book is ok but there are people read this book on youtube.

I absolutely love this book. This is a multi generational story. My 3rd grade teacher read this to our class. I don't think there is a kid that had her class over the years that doesn't remember this book but by a different name The Grey Gentleman. This is a easier reading version of that book but the story is the same. I bought this so I could read to my kids and was so surprised that the innocent child in me remembered the story one way, however reading it as an adult has a whole different meaning. It makes you think. In my opinion this should be required reading in school. It's right up there with The Giver or even the The Giving Tree. A book with a message. You won't be disappointed. This was originally written in German by the same author as The Never Ending Story. It's been translated into Spanish. But trying to to find an English version hasn't been an easy find, so I was elated when my sister found it here and bought it to read to her son. Then I bought it to read to my children.

Momo is a great story and has been a family favorite even though it is virtually impossible to buy in the USA (so I get it in Europe). The story is about a young girl, which is great, as heroines can be hard to find. Ende's fantasies are beautiful. It is a simpler and shorter book than his more famous The Neverending Story, and more manageable for younger readers. Enjoy!

Every child should read this book. Perspective on life will be changed for the better.
