Goodwill Purchase Ends Up Being Son's Favorite
Purchased at Goodwill to use for a craft project. My 7 year old son came across it and it has turned into his favorite book of all time. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that he also loves the movie "Home Alone" which is sorta similar - boy lives alone and enjoys himself immensely:) It has inspired my son's creativity even though it makes me sad to think of him being alone...

I'm surprised this book received such a high rating!
I was very disappointed with this book. I bought it for my son, Nicholas, thinking he would be excited about a book with his name in it. The story is about a boy, who has very wealthy parents, who obviously care more about their money than anything else. When Nicholas is shipwrecked and lands, alone, on an island, he is happy to be away from his family. His parents...

I was very disappointed with this book. I bought it for my son, Nicholas, thinking he would be excited about a book with his name in it. The story is about a boy, who has very wealthy parents, who obviously care more about their money than anything else. When Nicholas is shipwrecked and lands, alone, on an island, he is happy to be away from his family. His parents worry at first and offer a reward to find him, but as time passes they spend the reward money on more jewels. How awful! I could just imagine what kind of message this would send to my sweet 5 year old son. A terrible book!

Perhaps it is not a coincidence that he also loves the movie "Home Alone" which is sorta similar - boy lives alone and enjoys himself immensely:) It has inspired my son's creativity even though it makes me sad to think of him being alone on an island...oh well. Guess I need to get over it since it makes him want to read.

A fun fantasy based on values and wishes,

Poor Nicholas is the child of boring well-moneyed parents. He hates the wealthy life and longs for real adventure. Well.. In this excellently-illustrated book he gets it, finding happiness and fun on a desert island.The best thing about this book (aside from the great story and fun illustrations) is it's boldness. It dares to express the fantasies that all children have at times of escape from unhappiness into adventure, companionship, and a simpler life. Stodgy billionaire parents will not like this book!

One of my favorite books as a child, a creative story. Ann McGovern did a great job on this wonderful story. And to accent the wonderful writing, Tomie de Paola did wonderful illustrations.

This review is from: Nicholas Bentley Stoningpot 3 (Hardcover)
An entertaining book with beautiful illustrations. We were drawn to this book because we love Tomie de Paola. What a great delight to find
that Ann McGovern wrote such a lovely story
for Tomie de Paola to illustrate.
