A Rainbow of Friends Review
User Submitted A Rainbow of Friends ReviewsJuly 26, 2008 Teaching Book Another favorite by author P.K. Hallinan. As always the illustrations are beautiful & help to tell the story. Teaches children how to welcome others into their lives along with their differences. April 19, 2008 A Book to Celebrate Diversity This book is powerful because of its simplicity. I can not give this book enough praise! Since our family discovered this gem a few years ago, P.K. Hallinan (who does his own illustrations) has become one of our favorites. The subtitle on earlier editions was "A Book to Celebrate Diversity". Hallinan subtly covers many aspects of diversity through his rhyming words and colorful illustrations. This book is not preachy nor is it cheesy. I like that the book does not just focus on ethnicity, disability and differences. A Rainbow of Friends touches on views, interests, dress, strengths and weaknesses; it emphasizes acceptance, understanding, friendship and working together! A great book for all ages! Our family has donated copies of this book to the school library, given copies to each student in my son's class at school and distributed the book at community events. Heartprints (board book edition)Heartprints is Hallinan's best known book; I think A Rainbow of Friends is one of his best. I would also recommend How Do I Love You. August 23, 2007 A Rainbow of Friends used in preschool class room I am a preschool teacher and wanted books to help the children feel better about being at school that first week. It worked!! It was child friendly and the childen enjoyed the story. May 9, 2007 Elaine's review I love this book, but the first time I saw it the book was hardcovered. As a child I always liked my hardcovered books. I was disappointed to find that this book is no longer available in hardcover. I think kids and adults handle a hardcover with more care. The message of this book is excellent. I wonder if the publisher would consider making a hardcover version again. April 5, 2007 :) This is a wonderful book about how we can be friends with all types of people--no matter what! :) It is a book I use every year in my kindergarten class! October 20, 2001 A Superb Book About Acceptance/Tolerance This book by PK Hallinan is a wonderful teaching tool for all children. Although it is not a literary masterpiece, that doesn't matter. The adorable pictures and text portray the true meaning of acceptance and friendship. This is a great book for a child to own! October 20, 2001 Excellent Teaching Tool A Rainbow Of Friends by PK Hallinan is a wonderful book to teach acceptance to children. It may not be a literary masterpiece, but that doesn't matter. The words and illustrations are powerful for children of all ages! It's a great book to own. May 16, 2000 Excellent book to share with children This book is an excellent approach to teaching children that we are all equal no matter what are nationality, race or handicap is. October 12, 1999 This is a wonderful book on universal acceptance. A Rainbow of Friends is wonderfully written. A children's book that adults will enjoy reading with their children. It is unique in its demonstrating universal acceptance among all cultures, races, and handicaps among people. For more A Rainbow of Friends reviews click here.
