Good Deeds August 13, 2007

The story is similar to Asope Fable, " The Slave and the Lion", where
good deeds are rewarded. I found the illustrations very artful and blended
nicely with the period of the story. The story is written in rhyme,
which my 6 year old grand daughter enjoyed, as we both read each page.
The book is 40 pages which I thought to be a little pricey. However,
The fun we had and the fact that she soon was able to read most of the
story herself, was worth more than the cost.

I found this to be a delightful book for children. It's an enjoyable story of a lost little boy who finds a friend in a firefly he names Aristotle. It was a refreshing story; a lesson in kindness children can apply in their daily life. I would strongly recommend this book for any parent, grandparent, or family member who enjoys reading to young children.

After purchasing this book as a birthday gift for a friend's daughter I decided to read it first and was drawn in by the story line and was very satisfied with the positive message delivered by this book. As I do not often read childrens books, it was enjoyable to read a story in verse for a change and the illustrations complemented the story line. The underlying message in this book rekindles the spirit of kindness and compassion. I recommend this book for anyone with young children.
