5.0 out of 5 stars Can Kids Still Have These Sorts of Adventures?, March 20, 2006

This review is from: Sinbad and Me (Paperback)

Forget free love, Vietnam, the peace movement, campus unrest, and inner-city strife -- we kids weren't paying attention to any of that. The 1960s were an ideal decade for children, perhaps the last truly innocent era. Kids were encouraged to learn, to wonder, to imagine, to dream. It was a big world, full of limitless horizons. This book captures all of that expansive optimism in the relationship between a boy and his bulldog. When I was 12 years old I couldn't put it down. Will "Sinbad and Me" make sense to kids today? I certainly hope so! And I hope this novel is back in print by the time my five-month-old boy learns to read.

I must have read this book 15 times as a kid. I loved it. I've been looking for it in every used bookstore I've come across. I can't think of a book that deserves a re-release more.

5.0 out of 5 stars GET THIS BACK IN PRINT!, June 13, 2000

This review is from: Sinbad and Me (Paperback)

As good as a juvenile mystery gets! As an avid juvenile mystery reader in the 1970's this was by far the best mystery I read. My kids are reading my copy and I'd love to replace it with a new one. The only other Kin Platt book I read was atrocious, so I'm not sure that this book is representative of his work.
