This is a lovely collection of stories written by a father about his adventures with his young daughter, Nell. It is definitely a heartwarming book.There is a beautiful sense of wonder in these stories. They are told in a manner that is fresh and light, yet they carry many levels of meaning. They each have their own style but they all capture the reader's attention from the first sentences. I did find that a few of them could have been a bit more subtle in revealing the author's meaning, but for the most part, they do a good job of sharing almost a moral without sounding preachy. My favorite was "The Meaningless Christmas Tree." That story alone is worth buying the book for.This book provides us with a lovely look into a relationship and for that I highly recommend it. This is a quick and delightful read.
