Synopsis
Told in playful rhyme, here's all the excitement and joy of a wedding day as seen through the eyes of a young ring bearer. From getting all dressed up and walking down the aisle, to watching the vows and tasting the cake. THE RING BEARER shows, in a simple, clear way, everything a young ring bearer needs-and wants to know. Adorable watercolor illustrations by John Wallace add to the delicate charm. Easy to read and utterly enchanting, it's a keepsake to be treasured by brides, grooms, and the little boys entrusted with the ring
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-Rhymed couplets explain the responsibility of the ring bearer in a wedding. Pastel watercolors enhance the details in the text down to showing the pink cheeks on the young participant. What initially appears to be too sweet and cloying for a young boy's enjoyment visually comes to a clever conclusion as readers see the child crawling under the cake table and ignoring the photographer taking a picture of the bride and groom kissing. The companion to The Flower Girl (Hyperion, 2000) would make a good gift book.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
