A young boy's courage........ Dec 20, 2006
I believe there are many lessons for a young person to learn in this wonderful little book - courage, bravery,unselfishness, and the importance of keeping a promise. The mutual trust between the pelican and the boy is a key moment in a very good story, along with the fact that the boy is so intune with nature that he "heard" the pelican and was chosen by the pelican for a great adventure.

The Day the Pelican Spoke Dec 20, 2006
In a time when values are being questioned and confusion reigns, this little book brings forth tidbits of wisdom for the ages. In Jose's world, good is good and right is indeed the right thing to do. Wrapped in the delightful cloak of a child's fantasy world, this story provides subtle, yet clear messages for how to be a good citizen and inhabitant of Mother Earth.

An entertaining and educational story for children... Nov 28, 2006
This is a delightful story about a twelve year old boy who rescues a talking pelican. It is obviously fiction, but contains a lot of real information about the importance being good stewards of our environment and of the creatures we share it with. Informative without being "preachy," I recommend this for all school age children.

Great book for grandparents, parents, and children of all ages Nov 27, 2006
For grandparents reading to their grandchildren; for parents reading to their children; and for children of all ages reading to themselves - Ellison Smith has written a magical story that will become a standard in Chldren's Literature. The young hero is a wonderful example for all of us to follow and the wise old pelican has words of wisdom for young and old alike. This book will quickly become a first choice bedtime story for you and your kids and will promote positive questions from the youngsters about the ocean, the coast, and my favorite shorebird, the pelican.
