The Selfish Giant,
This review is from: The Selfish Giant (Hardcover)
After reading this book to my 5 year old dozens of times it is still one of her favorites. The illustrations by Bill Bell captivate her as much as the story. An amazingly clear and moral story. I would recommend this book be on every child's book shelf. This one is a life long keeper!

Great book---a must for a child's library.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Selfish Giant (Hardcover)
This favorite story, by Oscar Wilde, has been expertly redone in Mr. Bell's unique style. Full of color and vivid imagery this book will become a favorite in every home. Bill Bell has the ability to capture a moment in brilliant color and this book is no exception. A great collectable for fans of Mr. Bell's art and for readers of classic literature.

The Selfish Giant,
By taylor-preston "ltp" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Selfish Giant (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful story, I have read it to all my grandchildren, as young as 3 years old and they understand the meaning. They request it over and over, especially the 3 yr old, (the version I read to them is from a book of Oscar Wilde short stories, with no pictures, and they still love it)
