I love this book and I absolutly positivley HATE the movie with Shirley Temple in it! Ya Ihave this whole rant on it, but u probably don't want 2 hear it.

Books are often much better than the movies made of them. I liked this movie, too, because Shirley Temple was so adorable even if it didn't match the book.
