I first read Daddy long legs when I was about ten years old-I got it i the libarery-My mother got it for me, and I've loved it since then(7 years later)I have reread so many times I know it off by heart.Judy Abbott is the most simple and touchng character I've ever read.It is a book I highly recommend-especaily to give you a little reasurance about the world again!!!, and for the touching story of friendship and love.

This book is "a pearl in a bed of oysters." I couldn't put it down, I read it in a day, and I've re-read it at least three times! Don't expect a story summary from me, I want you to find out how good it is for yourself! I get headaches from reading "heavy" books like "The Best Little Girl in the World" (I know that tittle dosn't sound heavy, but you'd be surprised!) If you do too then don't worry because "Daddy Long Legs" is light reading that will make you want to read it again and again.

It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laughI really think that requires SPIRIT. &quote;

It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little onesI've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be for ever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant. &quote;

I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to KNOW I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose all sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not. I've decided to sit down by the way and pile up a lot of little happinesses, &quote;
