Peggy Heading's Adventures of the Muffin Family reminds the reader immediately of the children's classic The Gingerbread Man. But in Heading's world, we get an entire family which sets up a fun and exciting way for kids to learn life lessons! The storyline is instructive for kids while the pictures are engaging and fun which keep their attention. I read this story to my five-year-old son and he loved the illustrations. He frequently laughed at the funny muffin people and their unique names - "chip", "berry", "poppy", "cherry". The ability to capture a young child's attention while teaching an important lesson of selflessness and obedience, isn't easy but comes through clearly in Heading's work. My son and I eagerly await what is next in store for young chip and the muffins! |
