This is an outstanding and insightful work. The author appears to understand that pre-schoolers do not appreciate a lot of detailed story telling. The illustrator's contribution is inspiring. The activity portion is scripted to enhance concept memorization. The prayers are encouraging and simple. In a word, the book is so exciting that daily study is not a problem. My four-year old granddaughter loves the book.

Our pastor used this as a source for children's sermons and for our church's preschool chapel services - it was a real hit! In addition to the pictures in the book, he had stuffed animals that he passed around to the children which represented the animals. The pictures are colorful, and the depictions of Jesus are very warm and tasteful. You have to get past a bit of fiction in the idea that these animals "witnessed" the events, but if you're willing to do that, you'll find a wonderful teaching tool.

Read familliar Bible stories to your busy toddler while giving them a chance to join in the action. Each line of the story is followed by a action for your toddler to emulate. They are invited to march like the soldiers, bah with the sheep, and walk with Jesus. Each story is followed by a short prayer related to what they just read and acted out. The stories of Jesus' arrest, crucifixion and resurrection helped my son understand what Easter is all about, without scaring him with details that he is not ready for yet. I highly recommend this as your child's first Bible.

Ralph Nader brought up many important issues in this year's presidential race. Many of these are seen throughout the writings in this book and it is apparent that the problems he talks about are not recent, nor are they going to go away without any massive efforts.

Nader's style is a little dry and difficult to read at times, but the points he brings up (especially in the sections on the presidency, democracy, and grassroots organizing) are vital to the progressive movement. His sections on tort reform and law practice are a little more technical and are probably best understood by those in the field.

Nader has stood by his convictions from the time he started fighting GM to today. This is an excellent book that traces his numerous crusades throughout the decades and gives a boost to the future.

It's deplorable--inexcusable--that in a country where free exchange of ideas is supposedly valued Americans were not given the chance to hear one of the nation's true heroes talk about issues that really matter to most people.

By locking Ralph Nader out of the election debates, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) may have served the corporate underwriters of the event--companies like AT&T and Anheuser-Busch--but this private organization performed a terrible disservice to the American people. Not only was Nader left out of the debates, he was actually *kicked* out of the debate hall, despite having a legitimate ticket to attend as an audience member! Makes you wonder what the major parties are afraid of, doesn't it?

Fortunately, we have a fine collection of Nader's essays in this book that does a great job of presenting the progressive, compassionate thinking that defines this presidential candidate and makes him stand apart from the political pretenders who can't even make the debates into lively televised spectacle, that's how much their policies mirror one another's.

Mr. Nader is the real deal. A man of energy and action, a man of principle and determination. A true hero whose decades of committed public service will stand as testimony to his lofty, truly democratic ideals long after Bush/Gore have been forgotten.

Read this book, endorse this great man. .

I haven't even finished the book yet and I still came on the computer for the sole purpose of writing this review. Ralph Nader's book directly informed and educated me on corporate welfare and abuse and much much more. I feel empowered from reading it and I now know who I would vote for in a future election. When I got into an argument with an ignorant co-worker about the accomplishments of Nader, I told him about Ralph's efforts to make cars, water, and air safer, his battle against corporate abuses, and his various organizations. My co-worker still unfairly chastised him, with unsubstantiated claims. My hands were literally shaking with fury that anyone could deny the work of this hero for the citizens, taxpayers, workers, stockholders and consumers- THE PEOPLE.
