A Pocket Can Have Treasure in it - Hardcover

The conclusion is clear: your shelves should have this book on it!--Julie Faulkner,"ForeWord" (07/01/2008)

The simple text of A Pocket Can Have a Treasure in It has a comforting repetitive structure, but occasionally diverges from the pattern to add an element of surprise. The rural setting evokes simple pleasures -- such as hanging out the laundry with Dad -- and the story is satisfyingly circular. [Betteridge's] soft and sweet illustrations tell a story of their own. A Pocket Can Have a Treasure in It will captivate youngsters aged from about two to five, and so the conclusion is clear: your shelves should have this book on it!--Julie Faulkner,"ForeWord" (07/01/2008)
