Puffin, 2004

Entertaining, refreshing presentation of the famous fable
Writing is excellent and witty - one simply can't resist falling in love with a book that includes menu items such as "lamburgers" and "Granny Smith pie" - and the illustrations support it well. Better done than the run of the mill fairy tale parody, and thus far superior to the average fairy tale presentation. The humor is invaluable when trying to stuff a moral down kids' throats - they ...

Sid Hartman, Patrick Reusse

Voyageur Press, 2007

Love him or not, this book is a must read for MN sports fans
Sid's book is a fantastic ride through Minnesota sports history. I picked up the book a true Sid Hartman sceptic. Come on, does he really know all these people? I won't give it all away, but Sid is the real-deal Minnesota sports fan. A true Minnesota legend. The many tales of Bud Grant, the Gophers, the Vikings, the Millers, his role in the Minneapolis Lakers, the Twins, and yes, Bob Knight keep ...

The Lion Storyteller Bible

Chariot Victor Pub, 1995

A Good Place to Start
I have looked at a few "toddlers`" or "first" bibles, but this one best suits our present needs. At seven and five years of age, active, and bilingual at present, my boys enjoy read-aloud books: only if interesting, and in case of the youngest, only with pictures. Twenty-five stories each from the new and old testaments are retold in a format which lends itself to reading aloud. These ...

Time to read parents!
Our family loves hippos, so this was a natural fit. It's nice to find stories with Biblical messages that have great illustrations and clever phrases to keep a child entertained. We first read this to our daughter at 3.5 and at 5 it is still a favorite. The premise of the story is a hippo who comes to a village's rice field and stays to eat. The villagers think he is a monster "stomping feet, ...

An outstanding book for all ages, not just the children.
The Easter Angels captures the very essence of our Christian faith and focuses on the beauty of the Risen Christ. For children, it tempers the lessons of the Crucifixion with the true joy and beauty of the Resurrection. I especially loved the ending to this beautiful story. It offers so much hope to all of us who believe in Jesus as our Savior.

Wonderful book to give as a gift
This book features 3 to 4 page vignettes of about a dozen saints, some well known, some not. Each vignette ends with a couple questions to discuss and a prayer. Very appropriate for the 6 to 10 yr old age group... a great gift to a godchild.

Putnam Juvenile, 2003

fun and empowering
Why add to the 5 star reviews already here? This book fills a special niche. Today's kids are so overscheduled, overpressured, overgraded (somehow this is happening at the same time that every kid has to be a winner in playground games, but that's another story) and they often don't know how to relieve their stress. This is a book that says it's ok to be grumpy, it's ok to think for ...
