5 Stars Tender and sweet
The stories in this edition of the book are my favorite. All of my friends have loved the autographed copies that I have given them. So many touching and tender stories, and even ones that make you chuckle.
4 Stars Maybe not the greatest course
I have read a number of Chicken Soup for the Soul books but felt I’d read some of these stories before. Probably not the best collection I’ve read.
5 Stars Great Series
I have purchased a number of the Chicken Soup series am I am quite pleased with them.
