The Mightiest Heart

Rating:
Summary: My children and I loved it.
Review: I bought this book for my children. They loved it. And I have to admit that I loved it, too. We have a dog, and the story really hit home. We keep The Mightiest Heart on our coffee table because this book is so beautifully illustrated and tells such a beautiful story. I would highly recommend it to everyone, especially people who love animals.

Summary: An absolutely wonderful book!
Review: I've got a 14 month old wolfhound, and I love legends and picture books. This book was a natural for me! The pictures are beautiful. The story is quite sad, so have tissues ready. A lovely rewrite of a traditional tale.

Summary: A little sad, but a good book...
Review: My mother got this book and another one also illustrated by Laurel Long (The Magic Nesting Doll by Jacqueline K. Ogburn) for my son and daughter for Christmas. The very first thing I noticed was the beautiful, pseudo-Medieval artwork. It's definitely a picture book worth having for the *pictures*! :-)

The story itself is a little sad, but good, not depressing. We've really enjoyed this book.

Summary: What a moving book! Tremendous Illustrations!
Review: Thanks to all of you reviewers, you never let me down. I just received this book and devoured it as soon as I opened the box. Yes, the story is sad, and it brought me to tears, but I look at my own dear scruffy dog a little differently, and so does the little boy I read it to.

I collect Children's Books for their illustrations. I have to admit that some of the books that I own the content is so-so, but the illustrations are marvelous.

This one, stands out in all aspects. I am proud to add this to my library.

(I think I'll buy another one for a spare...I know we'll be reading this one alot)

Summary: Touching-will resonate with animal lovers
Review: This book is a gentle treasure. The story and the illustrations tug at the heart. The story is well told. It is gripping without being too intense for younger children. The artwork is lovely and adds to the sense of times past. This work will be handed down by generations of book and animal lovers. Exquisite. Highly recommended to all.
