Book Review:

I absolutely loved this cute children's book and the reason is that as a parent, you know that life lessons taught young encourages the child to grow into a productive and self-sufficient adult. When I was young, I really didn't have any mentors to speak of but my situation (dirt poor) did instill a longing in me to find ways to make money. In Patrick Turns His Play Into Pay, Patrick takes his love for making pies into quite a lucrative little business for a child. Back in the day when I was a little tyke, I was the same way - selling Kool-Aid, putting on shows and charging a nickel. So, I know where Patrick is coming from. He has his kid needs and finds a way to take care of them. I don't think I've ever come across a children's picture book that teaches children to be self-sufficient and come up with ideas on how to make money. Children nowadays need this. They need to grow up into self-sufficient human beings (I can't stress this enough) and this book fulfills that. It's about time a book comes out for kids that shows them that it's not all about video games and having things handed to them on a silver platter. Very very impressed with this.

I loved this book and give it 5 rainbows.
