My family and I are very big on reading aloud. I'd already read "Where the Red Fern Grows" by the same author, Wilson Rawls, and so we decided to give this book a try.
By the end we were all bawling. Even Dad.
This is a very beautiful, spiritually nourishing book with gently repetitive text, and is a great read-aloud or a good book to curl up with on a rainy afternoon. It has many hilarious parts, many tear-jerkers and a passle of memorable moments as the fortunate reader travels along with Jayberry in his escapades after a bunch of escaped circus monkeys. Worth a credit at least! A very worthy read.
