Review: John Dough and the Cherub,
By "ladynever" (Archibald, LA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Dough and the Cherub (Paperback)
John Dough and the Cherub is sweet reading. Aimed for younger readers, this book is set in a fanciful world much like Baum's Oz books. This story tells of a gingerbread man come to life much like the fairy tale. It tells of his adventures with his companion, the Cherub, as he dodges his enemy, a sinister man who wishes to eat him to and gain immortality. Recommend reading for nostalgic sentimentality. It hooked me when I was a child and my mother as an adult. (I still like it!)

unwanted inclusions in the Dough,
This review is from: John Dough and the Cherub (Kindle Edition)
I've been waiting for someone to format "John Dough and the Cherub" as it was one of my favorite reads growing up and my copy is falling apart, but I'll keep it until this kindle edition is fixed. The text narrows into ragged columns in places, leaving unexplained blank areas, and the page headers are included in the text, interrupting the story. Thanks anyway, but no thanks.

This review is from: John Dough and the Cherub (Paperback)
JOHN DOUGH AND THE CHERUB is a great story, fully as good as most Oz books, but this edition does not seem to contain the original illustrations by Jno. R. Neill. These illustrations were fantastic, really brought the characters and events to life.If you're considering buying JOHN DOUGH, get an edition with the original pictures. The Dover edition has them.
