Wonderful book for the whole family

As a parent, I appreciate anything that supports an open dialogue with my boys about life experiences. Bullying is a topic that deserves a closer look and this book offers a perspective that is not always heard or considered in mainstream circles. With the Silly Gil series targeting younger school aged children, I see this book as a step outside the box and an opportunity for kids to open to what choices they could make, and what outcomes they would like to see when it comes to resolving conflicts with other kids. Maybe victim and victimizer can be erased from the picture, and compassion and integrity could flower BEFORE the kids are older and able to do more physical harm to each other.

Our family just loves this book! One goes through life with Enzo and can't help but laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. This book is good for all ages, except there might be some explaining to do about the facts of life to younger children. Have recommended to many who have purchased and read it and expressed the same wonderful feelings about the book. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

This inspiring book is such an easy read for any age level from 3rd grade on up. It is a wonderful book to read to your little ones as well, where they can hear and visualize how someone can show the fruit of the spirit in daily life.  The best thing about this book is how applicable it can be to any reader. Such a great family book!

My husband and 3yr old are reading this together as I write this. We bought this for our first son and he loved it. Now our second son is in love with the book. It's fun to talk about your kids' own fears related to getting their haircut and talking about which of the animals' cuts your kid could have. We also joke about keeping toffees in our hair! Buy it, it's a great addition to your family library!

Our family loves this book.  It was given as a gift from one dog loving family to our dog loving family.  The illustrations are wonderful, and it's a playful, fun, enjoyable book.  Our two year old can't get enough of it.  We have fun reading it to him.

This book is one of the most wonderful books I have read in awhile and I read quite a bit. I loved it so much after reading that I had to buy a couple extra copies to give to the children I love. It is something that I  recommend parents to share with their children as soon as they can. The  poems and prayers and other things in this book are beautiful,heartfelt,and  a true blessing to read.

Our kids LOVE this book. Yes, even our four year old. The family of seven children and their mother are poor but obviously well loved. One day because the children are so good, the mother asks them what they would like her to bring back from the market. Each one (Monday thru Sunday) tell her and off she goes, giving them strict instructions to not let anyone in or play with the fire.

It is not long before Heckedy Peg, the witch, comes by. At first, the children follow their mother's instructions and do not let her in or provide her a light for her pipe BUT a bag of gold is way too tempting so in she comes. (Reminds me a little of Jerry and Jemima in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when tempted.) It is not long before the children are turned into different foods and whisked away!

What will the mother do when she comes home? Who leads her to the witch's house? How does she know which is which child?

Incredibly clever book with absolutely delightful illustrations. Teaches children a great lesson but also shows "redemption" and a mother's love. GREAT book!
