Review of Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape)
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape)" by Steve William Laible.]
Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape) Abridged Novella by Steve William Laible is a bedtime storybook that helps children fall asleep. It is based on the true-life experiences of Billy Jack. Children, therefore, have an opportunity to learn life lessons through this interesting story, as opposed to their parents’ preaching method, which makes the whole process enjoyable.
Billy Jack wondered why he had to go to bed while it was still daylight and he hated that. As someone who likes making his own rules, he disobeys his parents and comes up with a brilliant idea, “The Great Escape”, which involves sneaking and playing with his friends. Before he could do that, he decided to stuff his empty pajamas with towels and dirty clothes so that in case his parents came for a second goodnight kiss, they would think that he was still in bed. After his work was done, he proceeded to sneak through the window. Unfortunately, he had miscalculated the plan and found himself suspended between his bedroom window and the rosebush below it. As he lowered his body down so that he would reach the ground, his legs were separated widely by thick forked branches and the thorns prick him everywhere in his body. Will Billy Jack’s parents find and help him?
What I loved the most about the book were the valuable lessons children could learn. They will understand the consequences of disobeying their parents, the price they must pay for breaking them and that two wrongs do not make a right. If only Billy Jack had stayed in his bedroom, obeyed his parents and slept, he would not have gone through that painful incident. Through this story, children will learn the importance of obedience.
There is nothing I liked the least about the book. I loved how the author introduced a new vocabulary of words such as emphatic, pun, conspiracy, crestfallen and predicament and taught the children what the words meant. Children will learn new vocabulary and have the know-how to use it while communicating. I also loved the illustrations that the author used throughout the book. The pictures complement the narration and help children easily understand what the author is trying to communicate.
The book is edited excellently since I found no grammatical errors or mistakes. For this reason and the reasons in the previous paragraphs, I award this book the maximum rating of five out of five stars. I recommend it to children of eight to twelve years old.
