There's a typo in the new editions. Rating:
4 / 5
In comparison to older versions of the book, the latest publishing of the book is missing half a phrase. When the Big O gets introduced, the left side of the page should say, "Then, one day..." while the right side say something like, "another came along who looked different." The publishing I have found at book stores is missing the "Then one day..."

Whether simply a children's book or an adult self-help book, this one is a gem! Adorable simplistic line drawings that make you wonder how an artist is able to create such an expressive characters out of basic circle shapes. Matched with a story that can be taken lightly or taken to heart. Really, this is the journey of a character becoming a "whole" person...independantly being able to "roll" by itself. It also hints that to be happy in a relationship you must be your own independantly happy person...you can't rely on others to complete your deficiencies. Anyone who is a "relationship leapfrog" needs to read this book. It may even make you cry-and probably will make you laugh-at the similarities with your own experiences. It is also appropriate for children...it is never to early to introduce someone to lifelong happiness, independance, and stability. Rolling along...
