Green Nose

This is a very good book to teach children that they do not have to follow the crowd and do as others do. It is important to have your own individuality and be yourself.

Flesh-color is best.

I read this story to a group of school-aged children. They talked about it for a couple of weeks. Great story to point out the foolishness of following the current fashion trend. The boys in Mohawk haircuts cringed as I read this story as did the girls in bare midriffs. I love the way Max Lucado teaches sound principles to children. He doesn't preach. He allows his audience to discover the truth he is teaching.

Great Book!

Punchinello sees other wemmicks with green noses. First he finds it silly. Then he and his friends get laughed at for not having green noses. So they get their noses painted. Soon the next color in style is red and then eventually purple is the last. They go through many nose paintings in order to be "in".

There is humor in the book too. When the wemmicks get their noses painted, they stick their noses in the air and walk like they are all that.

Punchinello soon decides he wants to be himself again. He gets tired of trying to follow the crowd to fit in.

This book is good not only for children, but for teenagers, and even adults alike.

Wonderful book!

I bought this book in the board pages edition so that my granddaughter can look at it without worry of her ripping the pages. She loves to have me read it to her!
It is a great story for older children too. A good reminder that trying to fit in is futile, and being ourselves is what is really important.

Our favorite book!

My son and I have been reading this book together for years and love it. It is such a wonderful and true story. A must read for every child and parent.

Punchinello's hard-earned lesson shows us how important it is to be who we were created to be, and why that matters. So let this wonderful tale help you remember two things: that you were made unique for a reason, and that there is one who will always help you be you--wonderfully you.
