Summary: A Splendidly Told Moral Tale
Comment: If you like beautiful and euphonious prose, and think it worthwhile for your children to hear a story in which greed, cruelty and dishonesty are ultimately defeated by truth, purity, and kindness... well, buy this book for them. Read it aloud and revel in it.
Rating: 5
Summary: childhood favorite!
Comment: I must have read this book when I was 7 or 8. When my familiy moved, I searched in vain for the book to re-read, but it must have been lost in the move. I discovered it on a friend's shelf a few weeks ago, and re-read it. What joy! I always thought of this as the story where a bad guy steals Holy Water, but it is much more than this. The young hero has two dreadful brothers. He takes their abuse, and repays them with kindness, rescuing them from their own greed. Ruskin's descriptions of the country side are dramatic and vivid. One warning: Some might be disturbed by the references to the brothers' drunken behavior.

Summary: A book to be avoided unless you are a sanctimonius humbug
Comment: I had it as a text book in my high school and hated it. I had to locate this book today to explain to my 9 year old how we always dont get to read interesting books, more so for class assignments. I know any number of kids who get turned off by Dickens just because they had a tyrannical teacher stuff it down, rather up their brainstems in junior high school. One is asked to read a book in so called dear time, got to read it and follow the party line to get the grades and move on. If you want to teach your child how to read for pleasure, this is not the book to start with.
