5.0 out of 5 stars
a stroke of Genius in this children's book,
By "designsoup" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The King of Things and the Cranberry Clown (Hardcover)
I've raised a family and have enjoyed countless children's books, but John Callahan's "The King of Things and the Cranberry Clown" is by far the most inspiring and uplifting children's book I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. It brought tears to my eyes. I found it to be deeply satisfying emotionally and spiritually. The metaphor is universal, appropriate (even crucial) for children of all ages. The pictures are funny, sad and beautiful, the colors uplifting as a spring day. The story ultimately brings you "home" where you belong, to that special place where you know the truth, and the truth is always present.

The best children's storybook this 28 year old man has read.,
By BMcMasters@aol.com (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The King of Things and the Cranberry Clown (Hardcover)
The King of Things....sends a powerful message relating to control issues that people of all ages can either relate to or learn from. I was a 28 year old man who wept the first time I read the book because I was, like the King of Things, wrapped in my own "puppet strings". The book comes highly recommended from myself and my 3 month search for a copy is a testament to that statement.

Possessions,
By Matlin "avidreader" (Ft Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The King of Things and the Cranberry Clown (Hardcover)
Bring all of John Callahan's book back into to print. I bought this book when it was first published and rarely do I re-read my books, but this one has drawn me several times to pick it up and re-read it. Unfortunately the message of the book is freedom from "things" and there is no way I can relinquish this book. Read.....and.....ENJOY
