5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift for the Giver in Your Life (not just for children!), 30 Oct 2000
By Dale A. Blanchard "Friendly Spirit" (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Quilt Maker's Gift (Hardcover)
I'm not surprised to find this book listed as a Children's Book - who else is supposed to enjoy beautiful illustrated fables? The answer, of course, is the grown-up who reads it aloud. The detailed illustrations in this book will fascinate the fortunate child who hears the tale. The fortunate adult reader and the child will enjoy following this story about an unhappy king, laden with "things" he thought would make him happy.

A classic consumer, he "gets" more and more - his closets and rooms are burdened with beautiful treasures that bring him little joy. He thinks the only thing he doesn't have - one of the quiltmaker's quilts - will bring him that elusive happiness. But she only gives to the poor - despite his threats and angry attempts to show her who has the power - she will not give him a quilt.

She tells him how he can get that quilt - the answer of course is simple, once he figures it out.

A wonderful gift for that person you know who always gives (s/he might like reading it to children or grandchildren) or the quilt-lover on your list. The colorful quilt patterns shown and named inside the front and back covers, and inside the dustjacket(! ) are fantastic.

Like "Old Turtle," this is a beautifully illustrated book with rich layers to be enjoyed by children and adults, year after year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Story with Beautiful Illustrations!, 10 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Quilt Maker's Gift (Hardcover)
I met the illustrator of this book at a seminar recently and saw the proof of the book. It is a wonderful story about generosity with beautiful illustrations. Quilter's as well as children will love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't forget the bonus puzzle inside the dust jacket!
Beautifully told and illustrated. Wonderful use of colours. A moralistic tale, quite funny in parts (I liked the bit about the soldiers marching off in their pajamas!). Read more
