5.0 out of 5 stars A HISTORY LESSON WITH A DASH OF HUMOR!!, June 4, 2003

By

This review is from: A Winkle in Time (Step Back in Time with Mr. Winkle) (Hardcover)

They've done it again! Mr. Winkle and "his human",Lara Jo Regan,are back with their latest book, "A Winkle in Time". This book features facts about the underdogs of history. Most of these folks were unknown to me until I read this book! Here they finally get their stories told with Mr. Winkles playing dress up as each of these quite heroes. My personal favorite pictures in the book are Mr. Winkles working hard as Rosie the Riveter and the one of him horsing around as Kentucky Derby winner, Northern Dancer! This book is fun and educational for the whole family. Don't miss this cute and cuddly canine's latest work of art!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Celebrating the Underdogs of History, July 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Winkle in Time (Step Back in Time with Mr. Winkle) (Hardcover)

Well, Mr. Winkle is back again - tongue and all! "A Winkle In Time" is the historic depiction of untold heroes. His cuteness portrays and tells the story of life's underdogs through in his own way. From Arab Architects to Laika (the Russian Space dog)he covers the globe and beyond!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful collection of very brief biographical portraits, June 10, 2003

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Winkle in Time (Step Back in Time with Mr. Winkle) (Hardcover)

A Winkle In Time: Mr. Winkle Celebrates The Underdogs Of History is a delightful collection of very brief biographical portraits of often-overlooked champions and visionaries around the world, ranging from the Japanese woman who wrote the world's first novel, to the Idaho potato farmer who invented television. Full-color photographs featuring a lovable puppy in each scene of history add a unique twist to Lara Jo Regan's engaging and educational picturebook read for children 6 to 12.
