Sweet book, October 24, 2000

This review is from: The Seven Gods of Luck (Hardcover)
My daughter loves this book; her kindergarten teacher read it just after New Years and she made me buy it. The pictures are delightful and the story heartwarming. I lived in Japan when I was a kid, and I love the pictures of street life in Japan!

I'm the author!, June 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seven Gods of Luck (Hardcover)
This story was adapted from a beautiful Japanese folk tale. Linda Finch, who did the lovely illustrations, was born in Osaka (her mother is half-Japanese); the detail she managed to bring to life in throughout the book are marvelous. The School Library Journal said, "The well-paced, carefully plotted text has a sprightly partner in its stylized, gently colored illustrations." Booklist calls it "a fine addition to holiday story hours."
