Elwood's Crown, May 13, 2007
This review is from: Elwood's Crown (English and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Elwood's Crown is a delightful children's picture book in a soft cover that is bilingual and is the first in the series. This is a story of a carefree frog and lessons learned, the story is told with bright vibrant colorful illustrations and is told in both English and Spanish all within the same page. The story is for children of all ages, teaching children the concept of taking care of their belongings, the story will engage them all while teaching a lesson.
Elwood's Crown is a story that you will fall in love with no matter your age, the author writes with skill that will light an imaginative spark within. This is a series that both you and your children will want to read and the message the story delivers is a positive one. The story provides an important message about promises, wishes and the taking care of one's belongings along the way.
The pages are filled with bold and vibrant imaginative illustrations, the art work is superb to ignite the child's imagination. I highly recommend this children's book, both you and your children will enjoy reading this story together time and time again all while delivering a great lesson.
I look forward to all the future books in the series to continue, and will honestly being collecting each one for my grandson Caden to enjoy. This is a wonderful book for all young readers and is highly recommended for the children in your life.

Great Children's Book, June 20, 2007
This review is from: Elwood's Crown (English and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
"Elwood's Crown" is a delightful book with great illustrations which match the text. Teachers will want to read this book to their students. Students will enjoy listening to this story, looking at the vivid illustrations, and reading or writing about the story and characters. I am looking forward to Shannon Rumple's next book about Elwood.

My children love this gentle story..., September 17, 2007
This review is from: Elwood's Crown (English and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This is a sweet and simple story of young Elwood running into a snag. My kids were intrigued by the title (which of course I repeated to develop their interest), and then the story to which they could relate on an everyday basis. This has become a relaxing favorite. As along with my kids, I so enjoy illustrations, I especially felt his lovely crown was just right and precious for frogs. Without giving away too much, this is a pleasant story with mild lessons, and great illustrations. The book itself is a good size with large text, and the bilingual touch (Eng./Span.) makes it even more inviting. Enjoy this one.
