5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of Woof, March 19, 2000

By 

Cheryl VanHerk (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Woof (Hardcover)

Here is a book my four year old son didn't want to put down and I must admit, I enjoyed it too. Reading about Woof and his family brought back memories of childhood, as we read through eight adventures about family life adventures with they're struggles, attitudes and good values and of course a typical dog and his 'doggie ways'. The stories open up opportunities to discuss things like God's love, prayer, how to treat others, and share this love with others in terms that children understand(very important for us parents!) Characters Mark and Krissy, Woof and everyone else came alive as we got into the first few paragraphs, and the illustarations vividly portrayed the the spirit of they're adventures. The Best of Woof is a book that will be read over and over and fortunately is superior in quality as far as the binding and hardcover(another important thing for those who want the biggest bang for our buck!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful addition to your child's library, July 26, 2007

This review is from: The Best of Woof (Hardcover)

My sons enjoy this book so much. The stories engage them, and the illustrations are great. I appreciate that they are growing in their relationship with God. I also like the fact that each story ends with questions you can ask your child. And more importantly a prayer to say with them at the end of each story. I plan on keeping this book for my grandchildren one day. We love it.
