We purchased this copy as gift for expectant parents. We have our own copy and this book—along with McCloskey's others—should be in every top 10 or 20 list of best children's books, for the gorgeous illustrations, the story it tells, and the amazing way he captures human expressions. It's a long read for one bedtime story, but can easily be broken up into a two-parter.

Lovely, gentle story about young girl loosing a baby tooth, and taking a step to growing up. Very warm depiction of family life and neighbors in the community. Set in the outdoors on an island in Maine with detailed Robert McCloskey illustrations. Like all good books it sparks questions and discussion. I enjoyed reading this book to my children and now look forward to sharing it with my granddaughter.
Robert McCloskey's One Morning in Maine is delightful. An added plus is that the setting is in a state different from ours which means a bit of geography for the children.
