The Old Woman Who Named Things [Rylant, Cynthia, Brown, Kathryn] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Old Woman Who Named Things

Review: A very sweet story - I've become a big fan of Cynthia Rylant since our grandson was born in 2019. He loves the Henry and Mudge books, and now I'm giving the Mr. Putter and Tabby books a try. This particular book has such a sweet story! I don't know if it's because I'm an old woman myself, or just because I like stories that aren't silly, but this book really appeals to me. I want my grandson (who's now 4 yrs. old) to hear about all kinds of people...not just young ones...and to see that there's a lot more to life than just Monster trucks and Paw Patrol.
Review: This is a beautiful story for children who are ready for more text ... - This is a beautiful story for children who are ready for more text and a slightly deeper story. The old woman has outlived her friends and is lonely. She doesn't want to outlive anything else that she cares about, so she only names things that will last longer than she will. That concept is difficult for the smallest children to grasp, but some will understand her loneliness and fear of losing loved ones. It teaches the lesson of trusting in love because we must - that is our humanity. And, in the end, it is a gift, whether we outlive those we love or not. The old woman learns that in this lovely book by Cynthia Rylant, one of my favorite authors.

This is a beautiful story for children who are ready for more text and a slightly deeper story. The old woman has outlived her friends and is lonely. She doesn't want to outlive anything else that she cares about, so she only names things that will last longer than she will. That concept is difficult for the smallest children to grasp, but some will understand her loneliness and fear of losing loved ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a thoughtful story
*by A***A on June 5, 2023*

This is one of our new favorite books to read. I love the friendship development and how they dog and old lady both rescue each other.
