We did this book as a family read aloud. The whole family (including Dad) couldn't wait for the next night's reading.
Truly helps children appreciate God's many blessings in their own lives.

This is a really fun book. The charming and informative story is set during the English civil wars and centers on a boy abandoned by his mother. An excellent book that doesn't "talk down" to the reader.
