essential reading for your kids

I have a four year old who wants to read this book every night. It has a great message for the young and old. We can't wait for the next one! Awesome!

Loved it

My two daughers loved this warm and inspirig story. It reminded me a modern day version of the Engine That Could. The illistrations and creative design made for fun reading by my older daughter and listening for the younger one. I would highly recommend this book as a wonderful for gift for any child 4 to 10.

Planet Friendly

I am a teacher and wanted to get some new books for my classroom. I teach kindergarten and often buy books online. I came across the Toad Catcher's Creek book and thought it sounded ideal for my little ones. When I had read about the book and its author, I realized that I had also purchased Progressive Power Yoga products a couple of years ago form these same people. The tapes turned out to be wonderful! A fantastic workout. I am a yoga enthusiast and was pleased that this company was so concerned about the welfare and well being of people! It seemed like these people cared about making the world a better place. Once I got Toad Catcher's Creek, I knew that it was true. My class and I totally enjoyed the true-to-life message and the excellent visual pictures. So easy for little ones to relate to. Looking forward to more books and a better world to live in. Thank you Brian Weiner/Illusion Factory for helping to get there!!

Catch this one

What a great book! Colorful, beautiful pictures. Wonderful story. You can't help but enjoy it.

A touching and important story...

When I first received my copy of "Toad Catchers Creek" I decided to read it on my own before subjecting any nieces or nephews to a story I was unfamiliar with. I was pleased to find a story that I not only felt comfortable, but obligated to, share with them. The lessons of this short story are invaluable and should make their way to all young people. As our the world around us grows ever more complex and attention spans are tested at every turn, a story such as this, with simple, universal truths -can add to strengthening a child's self image and confidence. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a brightly illustrated fun to read children's book that is not only entertaining, but educational and empowering as well.
