Wise Words

Rating:
Summary: "Grimms fairytales" + Proverbs = great stories!
Review:

This is a great book for bedtime stories for kids, although I should mention that, in spite of what the publisher says, the stories do not take four-to-six minutes to read - more like fifteen-to-twenty.

The Proverbs are very well illustrated here, and this is good to show a child what these Proverbs mean. The stories are funny, and sometimes sad. They are a great addition to a family library.

One person that I know (an adult I might add)told me that, while reading the first story, he was unable to put it down. Knowing that he had an appointment, he forced himself to put it down. A moment later, it was back in his hand. He did not leave until the story was over.

Although the summary says "18 of his best stories", I know the author personally, and he does not have any more. Rats!

Summary: Wise Words is a book of good stories for the whole family.
Review: After reading the book myself, I found that Wise Words was not a book of stories written particularly for children, but for people of all ages. Each story includes a moral and a Bible verse that applies to the story. I enjoyed reading the stories and would suggest this book to anyone.

Summary: Great book with entertaining illustrations
Review: My children loved the stories. They had great moral value without being preachy. My children, who are very artistic themselves, especially loved the illustrations.
