A thorough and complete narration of the life of Amy Carmichael that helps put her writings in the context of the struggles and situations she endured. At points in the middle, however, it does get a little tedious and boring - a bit like life. Still, this is the best resource I've encountered yet on the life of a prolific, inspirational and challenging writer who also acted upon her beliefs. It is encouraging that this retelling is brought by the well-appreciated pen of a woman also influenced by Amy's life and writings.

A clever twist to the first sleepover that all parents and grandparents can relate to and children love. A great book to read aloud, this story immediately became a favorite with my kids - both students at school and my own at home!

Silly, clever and always fun with great illustrations that accentuate the rhymes in just the right way - adding to the imagination rather than replacing it. The Americana flavor of this book was especially endearing to my children during the years they spent living abroad. The shorter size of this book can make it more accesible to younger children than some of Prelutsky's other books
