A classic for any age!!!!!

Having first read this book while I was in elementary school, it has been the book that I have rated as one of my favorites all my life (in my 40's). Simple words convey volumes of meaning - very little is written to say so much about peace, love and death. Focus is on what is meaningful in life. Whenever I pick up my volume and read a couple of passages, I realize where my priorities are. Would love to find the complete volume with all the passages. The age limit should be removed - it may keep older readers from experiencing life with Platero.

A sweet story about Platero (the donkey) and his owner.
The descriptive language is so rich and beautiful
that this book is used in Argentina's Grammar schools to teach about 'descriptive writing style'.
