Lovely children's story!
I bought this book for my class and they absolutely loved it! We could have planned a good two weeks worth of lessons out of this book! I now have it at home for my own children and they ask for this book over and over again at bed time!

Proof that picture books aren't just for kids
This is such a sweet book, the story of an unloved doggy who finds her place in life. Recommended for kids and adults alike. If you're not moved by the story and the pictures of cute little Simp then you have no heart! Buy this book!

Wonderful
The first time I read this for my 3 3/4 year old, he was utterly enchanted. His words when I finished: "Read it again mammy". That's the only time that's ever happened (usually he wants another book) and says it all.

有利な環境を「持たない」子どもへのエール
童話館から出ている邦訳「ずどんといっぱつ すていぬシンプ大活躍」の原書。「シンプは だれがみたって みにくい めすのこいぬです。」でお話が始まります。ゴミ捨て場に捨てられたシンプは次々現れる難局を勇敢に乗り切り、同情によってでなく、助け合う相手を得て人生の幸せを見つけます。ストーリーも絵も秀逸。 作者バーニンガムはガンピーさんシリーズで有名な方。ゆったり人生をおくれるだけの物を持ったおおらかな大人ガンピーさんのお話とは反対に、シンプのお話では「持たない」子どもの目線から人生を語ります。

Simp Gets It Done!
Cannonball Simp Lives! This story has been around for years and remains one of the Great Children's tales. Sad at the start but Simp winds up having a terrific ending, My Kids loved it in the early '60's.

Dieses Bilderbuch ist ein weiterer Kinderbuchklassiker John Burninghams, das leider auf Deutsch vergriffen ist - wie auch schon das geniale Kinderbuch "Was ist dir lieber", das alle Kinder lieben. Die Geschichte handelt von einem kleinen hässlichen Hund, der eines Tages von seinem Besitzer ausgesetzt wird, schliesslich von einem Zirkus aufgenommen wird und dort ein neues Zuhause findet.

I received Cannonball Simp when I was a little girl in my weekly reader book club. I loved it and thought I had found a prequel or sequel. I still love this book, but was disappointed to find that Simp is the SAME book as Cannonball Simp. Now my sister can have one. Lol!
