Young Masters: This Little Light (Young Masters Little Wisdom Series) (Young Masters: Little Wisdom)
The Young Masters Series books fully involve readers in a program that encourages self-reliance, self-confidence, and respect for self, others, and the environment. Each book is accompanied by a CD comprised of stories and songs (as well as bonus files for home and classroom Macs and PCs); it starts with a pledge for participants, I promise to use my gifts every day in every way for I am a young master. Peace!  This Little Light is love, but not just for other people. It explains how people can love pets, reading, music, purple, or the planet Earth, and how love means taking care of something or someone. It emphasizes that we must love ourselves, for we will then have more love to spread around. There are compelling lessons offered in The Young Masters Series, but they are offered lovingly and unthreateningly. It s interesting to look at love, courage, respect, kindness, and other characteristics as powers with which we are born. What good are powers unless we use them? The Young Masters Series teaches kids to use their powers responsibly. The combination of story-telling and music is certain to be appealing to young children. Bottom Line: Would I buy The Invisible Power, Heart of a Lion, and This Little Light? Yes, it s hard to resist the combination of aliens and values. --Bob Etier, Blogcritics.orgYoung Masters Little Wisdom Series II: Heart of A Lion, The Invisible Power & This Little Light, Bunny Hull & Friends, Dream A World, 2010; Enhanced CD & Book; dreamaworld.com.

The books teach inspiring lessons about courage, creativity and love, respectively, in a simple way that children can relate to. While the books were slightly text-heavy for my 3-year-old son (they re for ages 4-8, after all), he was enthralled by the illustrations and wanted more, more, more! of the audio CD. My 5 year old, on the other hand, listened intently to the stories..and danced around the living room and sang along with the more familiar tunes on the CDs. With these three new books, Grammy-award winning Bunny Hull and Friends have provided a useful tool for helping parents and teachers teach children complex, inspiring and heartwarming topics. --Haley Overland, Today's Parent
