Book Reviews of Red Ranger Came Calling
Book Review: Magical and bizarre
Summary: 5 Stars
First I'll admit up front, I was always a fan of Mr. Breathed's work from the "Bloom County" days, but this book applies his unique take on the world, and in particular Christmas, to another level. The artrwork is great, and the story just twisted and wacky enough for the 7 year old in all of us to be delighted. Crawl up with a little one you love, or just settle down with a hot cocoa by the fire and enjoy. Wow, what a great world he takes you to, reminding us all what it's like to view the world's "magic" through the eys of a child. This book slays me!Book Review: Unknown Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Christmas story, hands down. I cannot read it without getting choked up and teary... and it's NOT a sappy story! This tells of a young boy who has a run-in with an old man who may or may not be Santa Claus; the boy has little and believes in even less, though his encounter changes that. Don't think you know how this ends though - the boy is not easily won, and he does more for the old man than the other way around. The final image will give you chills... (in a good way)
DON'T SKIP TO THE END! IT IS BEST AS A SURPRISE.
Book Review: A New Christmas Tradition - Red Ranger Came Calling
Summary: 5 Stars
How could you not believe after reading this one of a kind "there is a Santa Claus" book? This is Berkeley Breathed at his best - luring you into the story until you are rooting for the happy ending. And along the way, you'll find the magic that one little boy brought back from Santa in the most unexpected way. I won't give away the ending - but don't peek at the last page. Not only is a picture worth a thousand words, it is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and warm your heart. One for a gift and one to keep - I'm glad I bought two!Book Review: Great Story for ALL ages!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book for children as well as adults. The content brings home the true meaning of the spirit of Christmas. (As far as giving and attitude.) The illustrations are exquisite in detail, and lend to vivid mental imaging. The surprise ending leaves a "feel-good" impression that lasts for days. I recommend this book for all households for coffe-table reading and for young children to instill the "Spirit of Giving" that is so often lost in today's commercialism of the Holidays.Book Review: Simply Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not going to go over the story line - other reviewers have done that already. I will just say BUY THIS BOOK! Read it over and over and over. Read it to yourself, read it to your children, read it to strangers on the street. We live in a world where magical stories are an endangered species. This is a genuine keeper. The ending literally took my breath away, and we're talking about someone who is a hard-hearted, cynical curmudgeon if there ever was one. A truly enchanting experience!
