The Night at Humpback Bridge

This was a Christmas gift for my six year old son from his grandparents and very age appropriate. My husband read it the first time to him and both truly enjoyed it. The poetic verse makes it a nice easy read for us as parents and also something my early reader can pick up and read. The first thing my son said when they finished was "what a nice story it was." It tells the story of a little boy and how he was touched by an angel in such a sweet and tender and believable way. I believe in angels and in our house we talk of angels a lot since his cousin died at the young age of 2 1/2. This book is a great find for someone who has lost a child or for children who are dealing with the death of a loved one or just inquisitive about death. It gives hope to all who believe. I highly recommend it and will look for other books by Mark Kimball Moulton.

This book is so fasinating! It is a wonderful story of gardian angel care for those children who are in danger. Wonderful picture book for children. Story is beautifully illustrated through Mrs. Winget's wonderful artistry. The pictures carry you away into the world of this young boy and his adventure one icy night!
