Review title: Still can't bring myself to like this book...
Product review: I'll be the lone dissent...my son (who is now 9) received this as a (Catholic) Baptism gift. The illustrations are beautiful but the story/poem is extremely long and convoluted (and not really appropriate to a Catholic baptism). It's difficult to follow, starting by talking about the child and his naming day then going on to an agricultural lesson (the rain coming down and making seeds grow, the wind, a "flaming raining-bow")then to the church for the baptism. There are numerous mentions of washing things clean and bringing the dead to life. It is just not a children's book - none of my three have ever had much of an interest in it - we only still have it because it was a gift! I prefer to give as baptism gifts books such as Max Lucado's "Just In Case You Ever Wonder" or a child's board book with prayers (the ones with the little handles are fabulous for occupying a small child during Mass!).
