Mr. Peabody's Apples is a beautifully illustrated, overwritten book. Madonna, the book's author, is obviously not an experienced writer. Her use of unique names (e.g. Mr. Funkadeli, Tommt Tittlebottom, overuse of characters, and weak attempt at constructing a meaningful theme would have resulted in a rejection from publishers for any other children's book author, but for some reason Callaway Editions of New York agreed to publish this book. The book's cover proudly displays "Madonna" under the title which may lead some audiences to mistakenly believe she is also the gifted illustrator, but upon closer examination of the title page you discover Loren Long's name printed in tiny black letters. Had it not been for the "art" by Loren Long, this book would have absolutely no value, but instead the illustrations provide a whimsical aspect to the book and offer the audience an opportunity to explore the town of Happville. Madonna, obviously a vain solo artist, is better suited to serving the world as a stage entertainer than a conveyor of truth through literature. Perhaps the only graceful aspect of Madonna's writing career is her donation of all proceeds from the sale of the book to the Spirituality for Kids Foundation.

Rumors can hurt is the theme of this wonderful children's story. Madonna who is not only a great singer, actress and performer is also a talented writer. The book Mr. Peabody's Apples tells a story about ahow hateful rumors can hurt someone. It is a great book when teaching a lesson on gossiping. Gary Dominicus

I love this book! I've bought it as a gift for others a few times now. Beautiful pictures and a good story. I was introduced to a handful of the Madonna books when I volunteered at a DC elementary school to read to a needy student. He was in 4th grade and loved it when I read the Madonna books to him, including this one. My Mom is an elementary school teacher in Utah; I showed this book to her and she fell in love with it, too!

The art is fabulous, the lesson is a good one which teaches sensitivity to other people's feelings, and reading it to my 5 year old felt wholesome and right. I am cruising around the website right now looking for something like it to buy. Happy reading.
