Jane's Blanket

Soft and warm, Jane's blanket had always been there to comfort her, and she couldn't imagine drifting off to sleep without it. But with the passage of time, Jane grew bigger and bigger and her beloved pink blanket got smaller and smaller. This tender tale of how Jane learned to do without her blanket is a story that children and adults will be happy to share.In his only work for children, the author of Death of a Salesman offers a different kind of story. Arthur Miller's heartwarming tale of a child's growth and maturity is accompanied by charming images by Al Parker, a prominent illustrator and founder of the Famous Artists School.

I received a copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

My rating: 3 out of 5 stars

This book was just precious. Jane just loves her blankie which reminds me a lot of my Nattie-bug and her duckie. 

As Jane grows, the blanket is getting smaller and more worn. I just love how the author seems to so accurately portray how a child feels. They crave that familiar blanket. Even as Jane grows, she wants that blanket, but it is old and worn out. She takes it from mom's dust rag stash and keeps trying to use it. Eventually there is so little left, it isn't even a blanket anymore. What Jane's blanket finally ends up as is a wonderful twist. 

This book was a fun read for me and the girls liked it to. We give this one three stars. It was pretty good and we will probably read it again, but not likely to buy it.
