    Thanks 2 This Seller 4 Delivering An Item Exactly As It Was Pictured, & Described 2 B N. I Was Concerned At 1st, When Finding The Package N My Mail Box, As I Heard It Rattle, So, Not 2 Agrivate It Any Further, I Was Very Careful Upon Opening It, As I Found That The DVD Was Loose, & Not On The Hub Within The DVD Case. From My Past Xperiences, This Is Usually A Bad Sign, As The DVD's R Usually Scratched, But Luckily, This 1 Still Arrived N Xcellent Cond. I Highly Recommend This 'Saved' Seller! 👍

    Shipping: Shipped the day of the sale; arrived in 5 days in my city, but then the post office sent my package to Colorado. It took another 10 days to get delivered. Packaging: as expected As described: described as NEW. The books do look NEW until you at the page edges which are tanned to almost yellow. Books were probably never read, but they probably sat in sunlight for a long time. Value: Despite yellow-tan page edges, these books were a great value.

    PAX was wonderful

    I was expecting just a little children’s book that I could read to a very young child, , but was so surprised with the mature approach to the story and it was very well written. I would recommend it to every 12 year old or older. Thank you.

    A wonderful easy read

    The story is wonderfully written. I bought this to read on vacation but started it early and now I can't put it down. There are two tails - one told through the eyes of a boy and one though the eyes of a fox. Both are different and both are descriptive and moving.

    Perfect read for my 5th grader!

    My 11 year old daughter loved the book and read it in about 3 days. It kept her attention and she couldn't put it down! Also, it was in great shape for a used book.

    Fantastic writing

    I Read this before giving it to my grandchildren and I think they are too young. This is one of the best books I've read all year and I'm recommending it to adults. I loved this story, love the writing, loved the characters and hated for it to end. It's a beautiful book.
