Product Description

Product Description
Napoleon is a small brown dog with very big ideas. One day, he lands on a beautiful paradise island. Crab, Bunny and Bear can't wait to share their island home with their new friend. They are generous and kind and welcoming. But Napoleon has big visions for his future - he's going to build himself a huge house with a great ocean view. Before they know it, Napoleon uses up everything on the island, bosses the friends about and eats all their food! Soon, 'King' Napoleon finds himself alone, and must think hard about the meaning of community and sharing, before he can be considered a friend again.

5.0 out of 5 stars LESSONS TO BE LEARNED IN THIS ENGAGING STORY, 30 Jun 2006
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: No Room for Napoleon (Hardcover)


Once upon a time there was a small brown dog. Really, an unexceptional canine save for his name - Napoleon. He is appropriately named because he has notions of grandeur.

One day when he is out in his boat he sees an island,. It appears to be a beautiful spot and never able to think small Napoleon decides he has found his very own, personal, just-the-way-I-want-it paradise island.

When he reaches shore he receives a warm greeting from Crab, Bunny and Bear. They show him all around the island, which is everything Napoleon hoped it would be and he decides to stay. His three new friend are delighted and offer to build him a home.

Well, Napoleon wants to start construction immediately and hustles about the island to find just the right spot with the best view. Early the next morning he begins to build, and his friends offer to help. Little did they know that Napoleon would soon be issuing orders and as they worked harder and harder he worked less and less. Not only that but he uses so much of the island for his house that soon there's not much left of the woods, gardens or beach. There's hardly any space for Crab, Bunny and Bear to play.

Young readers will enjoy discovering how the threesome deal with Napoleon and the lessons that he learns.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine lesson for life..., 28 Nov 2007
This review is from: No Room for Napoleon (Paperback)
This is a really thoughtful and beautifully illustrated book. My kids love me reading it to them and the messages in it (about sharing and being selfless) are sweet & subtle.
