My son loved this book. He not only listened to the story, but he loved looking at the pictures too. Personally, I also loved the book. It is about the power of words, and how you must choose them carefully or they can hurt people. Excellent!

Mr. Peabody's Apples is a wonderful book. The story is so important. It may be a childs book but it is a story that we as adults need to read as well. It reminds us of the power of the spoken work and how nearly impossible it is to take them back once they have been released. The illustrations are lovely. This is my favorite in the series by Madonna.

My kids really enjoyed this story. It isn't really a book you'll read them over and over again but I did read it with my kids a few times.
