AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR KIDS Rating:
5 / 5
I thought the idea of an astrology guide for kids was so unique that I gave this book as a present to each and every one of my three nieces, three nephews, three god-daughters and one god-son. Both they and their parents report that they absolutely love it. My nephew Maxim insisted on assigning zodiac signs to all his stuffed animals (of which he has a huge collection). My god-daughter Tara comes home from school when she's made new friends and heads straight for Madalyn Aslan's book to look up their signs. It's involving, entertaining and inspirational (and Tara's mom tells me plays a useful role in helping children understand how different people have different qualities and good and bad things about them) - highly recommended.

A Child's Magical Ode to the Earth Rating:
5 / 5
This cosmic guide is enchanting. The author goes deeply into the origins of astrology, which is the worship of our earth and our connection to all that is around us. It is a beautiful book with a truly loving message.Take away the celebs and this could be a little Druid's book! "Sweet Venus" is described as "around 900 degrees Fahrenheit. It is an example of what could happen to the Earth if we do not take care of it." Virgo "busy bee" is so smart it "sixth-senses nectar in a flower." I was delighted to see psychologist Carol Gilligan and other educators in the reviews. My children are Montessori-educated - Maria Montessori is in the "busy bee" Virgo chapter - and it's a hit at school as well as in our home. Incredible fun. Heartfelt thanks to to the author Madalyn Aslan for this miracle she has given us!
