I really enjoyed this book because it outlines exactly what the moral is at the beginning, which allows the reader to look for reasons that explain why thats the moral. I also like the illustrations in the book. They are very animated and pair with the text well. This book would be an awesome read aloud for kindergarten or an independent read for first graders. The moral of this story is don't make plans based on things that haven't happened yet.

Well laid out book (for K-2nd grade) with a good balance of pictures and words. Broken into easily digestible pieces for easy classroom use. This book goes into the science element of shamrocks and could be great for 3-4th grade classes as well (with usage of the web site links offered in the index).
Key words are highlighted allowing for great read aloud and photographic images are beautiful. History can often be less exciting, but this book makes it easy to keep students engaged with direct sentences and short sections covering a variety of elements of St. Patrick's Day.

My only wishes are that it would be longer to cover different celebrations in different countries (which is a fascinating element) and potentially some graphic elements to create a more visually stimulating scene (there is a good amount of white space that could have been filled). To make it superb, there could be inviting questions that the reader to ask with students, such as "what do you use for a good luck charm?"

The classic Biblical story of a traveler who is beaten by robbers, left without clothes or coin, who is found by a passing Samaritan and nursed back to health, retold in picture form and in an easy to read fashion for kids. Jesus' iconic parable is retold with a smattering of modern language and quite nice pictures, but doesn't lose any of its original meaning. It's somewhat non-religious, but the moral still rings true today! A great book for kids on learning how to help others.

I'm a sucker for Aesop stories, and this one is done right. For one thing the drawings are funny and the moral of story is put out there first thing, so that kids can think about what the story means as they are reading it, or listening to someone else read it.

The text is at the 3rd grade reading level, and the font is good sized. In fact, this might be a good book for a reluctant reader at that level because there are fewer than 400 words.

There are not drawings on every page, but there are frequently little silhouettes under the text --with the drawings on the right hand page. In the silhouettes the wolf is sneaking around in an exaggerated manner. And the expressions in the drawings by Nancy Harrison are just priceless.

No overt violence. The wolf does carry off the sheep, and the shepherd at one point does carry off what he thinks is a sheep for dinner.
