Customer Reviews

Just Open a Book is a great book

I bought this book for my 5 year old. This book has great illustrations and uses words that beginner readers can understand. "Just Open A Book" helps show little minds why reading is so important - you can go anywhere or be anything when you read a book.

Wonderful Story

This is one of the stories in our P.K. Hallinan "A Rainbow Of Friends" children's collection book. We love them all, but I especially like this story because it encourages reading in a playful way. I think the idea of reading "taking you away" is totally lost on my toddler but he loves the colorful illustrations and I love the message. I recommend the collection of P.K. Hallinan's stories because it includes: "A Rainbow of Friends", "For the Love of Our Earth", "I'm Thankful Each Day", and my son's favorite "When I Grow Up". These wonderful stories reinforce positive values (though there is a religious feel to the stories).
