Hott Review:
Ten-year-old Frederick is left alone and orphaned with only the river to know his sorrow. The river, feeling his pain, gives Frederick an egg that grants wishes… as long as he doesn’t eat it. Plus, he gets Tug the Comforter.
What I liked: Cottonmouth and the River is a great book to share with children. It’s a terrific story about consequences, and a fictionalized rendition of what Jesus has done for us. It’s a solid support for lessons or story-time.
* Those of us who are Christians will see the symbolism but for those who aren’t, this is still a good book with a great moral about keeping promises.
What I didn’t like: While I think this would be amazing printed, it was very hard to read on the Kindle. The pages are all images and cannot be enlarged.
