5.0 out of 5 stars My son's favorite!, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Plant Your Dreams My Child (Hardcover)

This book was given to me last year and it rapidly became my then 1-year old son's favorite book. We've now had it for a year and a half and he still loves it.

It's full of good messages about God and love and dreaming, so his parents love it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent message, lovely illustrations, September 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Plant Your Dreams My Child (Hardcover)

My husband and I bought this book for our daughter last year (at an Arts Fair) when she was only 4 months old. It quickly became and remains her very favorite book. She loves the wonderful watercolor illustrations and her Dad & I love the message the book delivers. We've added several books to Erika's library over the past year, but she always pushes them aside in favor of Plant Your Dreams My Child!

This review is from: Plant Your Dreams My Child (Hardcover)

This children's book contains some wonderful watercolor illustrations. The book contains a message about faith, hope, love, and daring to dream. The vocabulary is simple and the words aren't too difficult to read even for beginning readers. Children enjoy looking at the book and usually enjoy listening to it being read to them. Even though the book is not a story, it does contain a good message that isn't heard enough by youngsters today.
