 Brilliant! Written at 3 reading levels. December 23, 2008

One Hen is not only a picture book to be read to non readers in one sentence per page, but a beginning reader's book. It is also written on the right hand side at a grade six and up level. The challenge to become involved actively in microfinancing on the final pages, has adults setting up the website in schools, libraries and book stores, enabling all to become involved in the win-win world of microfinancing. No wonder it has won business awards as well as literature kudos.
Excellent story with a moral! December 20, 2008
A. Speck (Central PA,USA/Ghana, West Africa)
This book is a real life story turned into a children's book to inspire hope the belief that EVERYONE can achieve if they keep trying. The book, based on the life of Dr. Kwabena Darko, "The Chicken Man" of West Africa will inspire your children to great things. A must have for any children's library.
A lovely book, in every way December 17, 2008

This book is terrific. It has an inspiring message that can be used to talk with kids, even young ones. The book is well-written and done with careful thought--pages can be skimmed with really young kids, while older kids can read the full text. The art is magical. I recommend this book highly.
Top inspirational holiday gift for children, December 12, 2008

This is the perfect gift to give children. Tells an inspirational story of a young boy in Africa who starts his own business and then helps others. Any child who has run a lemonade stand will be inspired.
Also has an interactive website [...] where kids can play games and help the poor each time they win. Hours of fun and good deeds at the same time.
 Great idea, great art, terrible writing December 2, 2008

Gosh, after the rave reviews here, I was so disappointed in this book. For 4 to 8 year olds? You've got to be kidding. This book was based on what should have been a delightful and inspiring story, but the author went on and on and on and on in the style of somebody writing a report for the IMF instead of a children's story. This author does not know how to tell a story, how to create images, how to carry on a plot. It became more boring with each page. And it is a real pity because what a beautiful idea. I wish the publisher had given this writer more help so that his story could have been told properly. The stars I gave are all for the artist, who did such a wonderful job with the paintings.
