3* They give you a good excuse to sit and read an afternoon away
4* They give the greatest presents.  And OFTEN.
5* They remind you how to look at the world with wonder; things like dew covered grass, the wings of a dragonfly or the shimmer in the eyes of frogs.  Things that you forgot to notice when you began to grow up.
