Customer Reviews

Karen Winnick - visual and textual perfection

Karen Winnick's Sybil's Night Ride is the children's book every parent should obtain for the soul purpose of giving the best of children's literature and illustration to his or her child or pre-adolescent. Karen Winnick skillfully masters the historical story of Sybil Ludington and transcends it into a captivating 20 or so pages of beautiful words and detailed oil paints, the likes of which I have only seen in such genius as Van Gogh or Monet. This is a must, a bestseller, a joy. Also, look for Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers, the perfect complement.

My Daughter loves Sybil's Night Ride

As a parent, nothing makes me happier than knowing my daughter is enjoying reading. And even better when the reading brings her inspiration. This is the case with Karen Winnick's Sybil's Night Rider. My daughter loves the book, fancying herself as Sybil. This is what a children's book should be - words that inspire upon graphics that ignite the imagination.

When does the movie come out?

Certain children books have the magic that leaves lasting memories. The book paints a picture of a little known courageous girl that overcomes all odds to leave lasting historical mark. With vibrant art work the dark obstacles that she must surpass come alive. The book will set fire to a child's imagination. It is the perfect mix of a small simple story with a grand historical ladscape. I recommend to this anybody who wants to delight their child.

I love Karen Winnick's Books!

They are a delight to read. The illustrations charm me and all of the many children in my life (including a set of six-year-old triplets.) I love reading the books aloud and watching the chldren get excited by Ms. Winnick's heroic characters. Sybil's Night Ride is my favorite so far. Sybil is a brave and smart role model and the story is a wonderful adventure. Thank you, Karen Winnick. Keep writing and congratulations on another delicious read for kids (and me... their aunt.)
