This review is from: Blue Cow (Sugar Creek Gang) (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised at the strength of character this and the whole series brought out. Paul Hutchens books captured my 10 year olds imagination. While these aren't huge novels, they are just the right size for a 10 year old's attention span and the central theme never gets lost. This is a great reinforcement for any parent trying to present the correct values in todays world.

This review is from: The Blue Cow (Sugar Creek Gang Series) (Paperback)

A "Sugar Creek" book is always an excellent read! This series feature a group of hard-working, hungry-eating boys. They all are good comrades with one another and their predicaments usually teach good Christian morals. In "The Blue Cow" one boy learns true patience (for with cows, things go a bit slow) and also forgiveness is learned.

Great for boys and girls, all ages 8 & up.
