The Wheel on the School

LOVE this book. Love it. We read it twice because my 7-yr-old daughter enjoyed it so much. My daughter started looking for friendship in unexpected places since the children in the story find surprising fellowship with the elderly and disabled.

This book is an interesting read and teaches a lot about old country life in Holland. The pace of the book is draggy. A lot of ill manners are tolerated in the book as normal. I don't particularly like this author, because there seems to be subtle disrepect for God in all his books--fortunately, this book did not contain the blatant examples that I have found in some of his other books. The ending of cooperation & perseverance is a good lesson. Overall, the book is worth reading, but it's not what I would call great literature.

We LOVE this book. My six year old son wants me to keep reading past the day's assignment. Now, he's asking me if we have storks around here. I told him not to get any ideas about putting a wheel on our house (ha)!

This book took us forever to read, but it was so good. It took until about halfway through for it to become a page turner, but I ended up loving it. My 6 and 8 year old loved it too. Don't give up on it!

This is a slow starter, but it turned into a page turner!

Such a cute book! We STILL look at wagon wheels and talk about it.

Not as easy as some to read aloud but well worth the effort. A picture of how a vision that is cast by one then take up by a group can pull together a community.

It took a couple chapters for us to get into this book, but once we did, we couldn't put it down. Great story, great lesson.
