Grosset & Dunlap I Knew You Could!: A Book for All the Stops in Your Life

Best book for encouraging children and adults to face the life

good book

A soft cover copy of this book “I knew you could” was given to me at my high school graduation by a dear family friend and inside the cover she had written the most loving meaningful letter to me about how far I had come in life and how far I was going to go and that she was excited to be there along the way and watch me on the journey! That simple gift means so much to me! Now that I have my own children I want to give them each something that will bring that feeling of love and acceptance for them that I feel when I read this book. I decided to replicate the graduation gift idea but with a little spin! I purchased this hardcover book so that each year my sons teachers can write him a special note inside and at his high school graduation I will present it to him. I think this book it is a much more "man friendly" gift option that can be easily saved throughout the years for me to take to each grade and afterwards for my son to take with him to college and off into life. So far we have 2 years of preschool teachers, kindergarten and he just started 1st grade. I have a while but I am so glad that I have this book to have loving words added to along the way.The book itself is hardcover with a protective sleeve. Great quality and the book I remember and love so much!

I wanted a book for my son’s teachers to sign for him every year that wasn’t the same old Dr. Seus book that everyone does.This book is perfect and has a great message, I ended up getting another to give to my nephew who graduated high school.

I was excited to see this book in the Used section. I always look there first to find a like new copy. This one was labeled Like New (May have marks on front cover, no writing on inside). What they failed to mention was that there was a ripped out page inside. I was very disappointed. I bought this book for my daughter who is in preschool to have her teachers write a note to her and I’d print it out and add it to a blank page.I know you always gamble when you get used but from description I was sure the inside pages would be fine. Luckily the page that was ripped out only had illustrations on both sides. So I careful cut off what was left of that page. Yes it looks strange but at least there isn’t any missing words.
