5.0 out of 5 stars Lasting Friendship and Holiday Spirit, January 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Annabelle's Wish (Smart Pages) (Hardcover)

In an age where children are coaxed by Sony Playstations, and the wintery outdoors; it's hard to find something simple that they can cuddle up with in the corner and quietly explore.

The story of Annabelle's Wish seems to facinate both younger children and more experienced level reader's.

Because its from Golden Books interactive series the child could "sound off" characters at any point in the reading. The book offers large bold illustrations, a clever plot twist, and original narration.

As all Christmas classics remind us, this book does make you think about the reason of the Season, and try to make your Heart feel warmer. It builds on the folklore of Santa giving the farm animals "voices" once a year on Christmas. And the friendship that builds between a mute boy and the calf, Annabelle, born on this Holiday.

Although Tommy and Annabelle are its main characters, the storey is about more than the "special" gift they exchanged. It was about how others around them put aside their personal differences to come together in Friendship.

Your child can easily relate to the animals and the frienships found in the storey. And if they understand what is being shown by "unselfish giving" recreate for your Family a special and powerful magic.

I received this book very well packaged and the book was in excellent condition. It took a couple weeks to get here as I assume it came via book rate (USPS). Anyway, I was not in any hurry to get it but was very pleased at the used condition of the book when it arrived. It is a wonderful story and my daughter who is now 23 still loves the story that she first heard and saw on a TV movie. I was very happy with this vendor's honesty about the condition of a used book. (They stated it was "very good" condition but I would have rated it as "excellent.")
