COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Father-Son Story submitted by Jeremiah042 on December 20, 2010, 9:44am I read this to my 6.5 year old daughter and 5.5 year old son. We all had a great time with it, and sometimes wanted to keep reading even after we were too tired to go on.

The story is great, a nice father-son relationship (mother isn't around, she died before the story began). There's some good bonding, working together, and appreciation of each other.

A caution, the big event the two do together, and it's much of the story, is an illegal activity. It's pretty tame, but it could bring up discussions about individual choices versus community laws.

Book for Boys! submitted by crazypockets on February 5, 2012, 1:02pm Roald Dahl is always a great pick for getting children to read. As the previous reviewer mentioned, this author doesn't hold back much, but he's also hilarious. This book is an excellent adventure story that would be a good choice to get boys especially reading. But girls will enjoy it, too!
