4.0 out of 5 stars A heart-warming story., December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Special Kind of Love (Hardcover)

I would reccommend this book to anyone who has ever loved someone and they don't know how to show it. The father in the story reminded me much of my own father, which made it even more touching. In the book, the son loves his father and his father loves boxes. But, the father also loves the boy, but has a hard showing it. So, he makes his son things to play with out of the boxes, such as air planes and castles, to show his love for him. The neighbors all think that he is strange and laugh at him, but he doesn't mind because he has found a "special" way to show his love. I think that this story can warm anyone's heart.

This review is from: A Special Kind of Love (Hardcover)

I love to read to kids. As an instructor with an Education degree and as a mom, I get to read often. I ran across this story substitute teaching and fell in love with it. I had to have it! The artwork is outstanding and the story tremendous! If you loved "The Giving Tree", you'll love this one, too! This is now another of my favoite gifts to give to new parents (or not so new parents!) to read to their kids. ....Yes, there's more than one way to say "I love you!".....

5.0 out of 5 stars A book about the magical love between a son and his father, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Special Kind of Love (Hardcover)

My six year old son loved this book. We checked it out from our local library and we have read it more that twelve times in two weeks. This book is about the powerful, magical and wonderful relationship that exists between a father and his son. The son loves his father and the father loves boxes. The boxes become the man's way of showing his son his great love for him. Magical and simple, a real winner. It shows love in its most primitive way.
