Enjoyed this book with my 7 year old daughter
I was happy to find this book at Amazon.com. My daughter and I really enjoyed it. My daughter loves to read about older girls and it is a very enjoyable read.
In bloom.
The English Roses by Madonna was the first children's book for the pop star. I read this book when it was released in the fall of 2003, it is a cute book and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous by Jeffrey Fulvimari but the way Madge writes is kind of one-demensional. What I do like about this book is the message, very positive. Solid book but could've been stronger.
Can't we all just get along?
Madonna, never one to shy away from controversy, has once again landed in familiar territory, allbeit undeserving, you guessed it, good ole controversy. First off, I find it curious that as of this writing, there are 315 reviews for this book which is Madonna's first book. Of those 315 reviews, the overwhelming(175)have given five stars to the book. Yet, the first page(where most people look)has three reviews, two one stars, and one three stars. Hmmm, maybe Madonna should write a book about fairness. The editorial reviews give you the synopsis of this book, judge for yourself if the storyline(not the author) is something that is worthy of your childs attention. The moral of the story is something that is told in a very enjoyable manner by the mouse. Children can be very cruel and if this book, which it can, bring some understanding between children, than hip-hip hooray for Madonna. This book was obviously written for an English audience but it works for American culture too , if you fill in the blanks for your little one that is. All in all I think this is a good children's book and recommended to help a parent teach about being kind to other children. We don't need more Columbine's but can use more good positive messages to help kids get along. Step away from the Madonna haterade and take it for what it is, a good children's book with a positive message and richly illustrated.
