Book Description

P and up
Told in playful rhyme, here's all the excitement and joy of a wedding day as seen through the eyes of a young ring bearer. From getting all dressed up and walking down the aisle, to watching the vows and tasting the cake. THE RING BEARER shows, in a simple, clear way, everything a young ring bearer needs-and wants to know. Adorable watercolor illustrations by John Wallace add to the delicate charm. Easy to read and utterly enchanting, it's a keepsake to be treasured by brides, grooms, and the little boys entrusted with the ring


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–Rhymed couplets explain the responsibility of the ring bearer in a wedding. Pastel watercolors enhance the details in the text down to showing the pink cheeks on the young participant. What initially appears to be too sweet and cloying for a young boys enjoyment visually comes to a clever conclusion as readers see the child crawling under the cake table and ignoring the photographer taking a picture of the bride and groom kissing. The companion to The Flower Girl (Hyperion, 2000) would make a good gift book.–Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA

This review is from: The Ring Bearer (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my 2 year old nephew who will be our ring bearer. I love the poem style as well as the illustrations. I think it is a great choice for younger children to understand what goes on at a wedding.

4.0 out of 5 stars More aptly named, "The Ring Bearer's Guide", May 7, 2007
This review is from: The Ring Bearer (Hardcover)
Well crafted illustrations and a simple, yet descriptive story line tells the tale of a young man and his duties, concerns, and adventures while being a ring bearer. My "little men" (we had two ring bearers) requested this read over and over in anticipation of their role in our big day. Highly recommended and appropriate for children ages 2-8.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Weddings, October 6, 2006
This review is from: The Ring Bearer (Hardcover)
I found this at the library for my 2.5-year-old son simply as an intro to what a wedding is, as we'll be going to one soon. It doesn't talk about the child actually being the ring bearer, which is good in our case. It does focus some on the ring bearer, but shows the overall wedding as well with pictures of the bride groom, wedding guests, etc. It's a pretty simple book & is great for our purposes!
