This title is suitable for ages 4 to 8 years. Henry Van Dyke wrote "The Other Wise Man" in 1896, and since that time, this enduring classic has woven its mystical appeal for countless children and adults. Here Pamela Kennedy retells the story for the young reader, making it easy to understand, while retaining the magic of Van Dyke's words. Robert Barrett's rich oil paintings create a tapestry of colour that adds to the mystery of the ancient world.

Not what it was described to be,
By Tulsa Mom (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Other Wise Man (Hardcover)
This is not the story that Henry Van Dyke wrote. It is a retelling of his story by another person. The description does not state this fact.

I have given all my copies away!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Other Wise Man (Paperback)
My English teacher read this to my class in Grade 12, and I remember crying in class. Very touching story which reminds us of the meaning of Christmas. I have purchased this for the children and adults in my life so many times that I have run out of copies. I guess that Amazon doesn't mind that...
