UP AND OVER THE HILL

Admittedly poetic and undeniably pleasant, the story of a small boy's saunter over the hill to see a pony, some ducks, a little puppy and a pink house just hasn't enough body to the story line to rivet the attention of small fry in today's world. While it may appeal to children who like a quiet story, this is by no means every child's idea of a story.
