Book Reviews of Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told by a Cat
Book Review: A Heartwarming story that is true
Summary: 5 Stars
With Pope Benedict XVI visiting in the United States, I thought it would be a good time for the kids to read more about him.
After reading the reviews posted here, I purchased Joseph and Chico, The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told by a Cat and I must agree with the positive reviews.
Told from the point of view of Chico, we learn about the life of Pope Benedict XVI, beginning with his birth in Bavaria up until his election as Pope. In a simple storybook form, it relates the major events of his life.
Although it is rather long for a picture book, the lively prose and interesting point of view held my daughters' and my interest.
While the bright, colorful illustrations are not exceptional, they nicely complement the text.
The unusual point of view adds an element of fun as the cat makes humorous comments. This elicited laughs from my ten-year-old daughter on more than one occasion.
A heartwarming story that is true, Joseph and Chico is a delightful read.
Thanks for posting the positive reviews and inspiriting us to read it.
