Fun and exciting childrens book

Excellent story for children. Just enough excitement, great storyline, lots of laughter and all round a good buy. Worth all of the 5 star rating I gave it.

Some of Childhood's Pleasures Need Never End

This is an absolutely enchanting book! Ms. Primavera's rich, glowing illustrations are the perfect compliment to the warm tale woven by Ms. Buckley. The story centers around three monks who have taken a vow of silence and who live together in an old monastery by the sea. One night they find a kite a local child has left in their tree. The three monks fly the kite in the moonlight, and each man silently reminisces about his own happy childhood, long since past. This is a sweet, simple story, one that sparks the imagination and offers the comforting notion that some of childhood's pleasures need never end
