What readers are saying about Parables from the Pond:
"Parables from the Pond is a wonderful gift to children between the ages of 6 and 10 and their grandparents. The best endorsement any children's book can have is when children beg for more. That's what my granddaughters did from the moment I sat down on the couch with them snuggled on either side of me in rapt attention and began to read ... They are a typical 9 and 10 year old . . . so I was delighted when they asked every day since, "You know that book, can we have another story?" ... I love the book! The characters are endearing and the stories are just the right length. It gives opportunity to stretch a child's vocabulary and the character questions are perfect for a short discussion. The scriptures with each story tie in wonderfully. This book is a bonding opportunity for grandparents of 6-10 year olds and an enjoyable way to share our faith with our grandchildren. Any book that captures my grandchildren's attention like this, and that is a vehicle for advancing the Kingdom in their hearts, has my vote." B. Burston

"I am ... enjoying it tremendously! Everything that seems to be happening in the book brings back fond memories of when I was a youngster and played around a pond near our house. Collecting tadpoles and pollywogs, etc. – it's GREAT!" Dan G. "... After we have read a chapter we all sit down and work out what the parable is trying to say. I must be getting old because the girls are able to work it out faster than I ... Maybe the Sunday School ... is giving them an unfair advantage." Malcolm McD. (New Zealand)

A Sunday School finds this book " helpful as a tool/catalyst for ideas in lesson planning in teaching character and faith in children. ... we are using the book for our summer Sunday School classes! There are 3 preteens who are taking Junior Leadership course, and they're going to practice their leadership skills to teach the younger kids in the sunday school program for 6 weeks this summer, and they're using Parables as the basis of their lessons!" T.H. (Southwestern Ontario)
