Cowardly Clyde

Rating:
Summary: Sure to spark the imagination
Review: Author of THE REBEL'S PLEDGE and soon to be published THORNS IN EDEN.

Cowardly Clyde was my oldest son's favorite children's story when he was little. I love this book. Clyde the war horse is the hero of the story instead of the knight in shining armor. This book teaches that one can be brave when the need arises and risk life and limb for a friend. A must among childrens literature.

Summary: Cowardly Clyde is a Hit!
Review: Cowardly Clyde is a wonderful story about courage and the illustrations are great. I checked this book out of the library to read to my 4-year-old and he loves it so much I had to buy it for him. Now my 3-month-old is enjoying listening to me read this story to his older brother and seems to love the story too. This was my first Bill Peet story but, now that I've read many of them, I've discovered he's one of the best children's authors ever!

Summary: A True Ker-Puffle of a Delight!
Review: This wonderful book appeals to my 5 year old boy because of the somewhat scary monster, the brave knight, but ultimately the courageous horse who must over come his cowardice to save his master Sir Galavant.

I was impressed with Peet's use of assonance and alliteration and over-all word choice: "...The faint-hearted horse was horrified."

This is super book and I recommend it highly - and the illustrations are beautiful to boot.

Summary: My Son's Favorite
Review: We checked this book out at the library...and it has turned out to be my son's absolute favorite! I can't believe it..but he loves turning the pages over and over and looking at the scary monster. (He is 16 months old.) He is a little impatient for me to read the text as of yet, but he loves the noises I make to go along with the story. His favorite part is when the monster explodes (I say "Ka-boom" even though the text says "Ker-puffle") All in all-excellent job!! (I even rated it 5 stars with a longer review on epinions.com)
