Synopsis

In 'A Dog with a Bad Name,' Talbot Baines Reed crafts a compelling tale set in Victorian England, intertwining themes of loyalty, redemption, and societal expectations. The narrative centers on the misadventures of a dog named 'Badger,' whose unfortunate reputation serves as a lens through which Reed examines the prejudice and misunderstanding surrounding those who are unjustly judged. Reed'Äôs engaging prose blends humor and pathos, employing vivid descriptions and dialogue that invite readers into the protagonist'Äôs world, while also subtly critiquing the rigid social norms of his time. Talbot Baines Reed was a prominent English author and an influential figure in the realm of children's literature during the late 19th century. His background as a writer and illustrator, along with his own experiences with dogs and their societal roles, inspired him to explore themes of companionship and moral character in his writing. Reed's dedication to portraying the innocence of youth and the equity found in true friendship informs the depth and warmth of this story, making it an intriguing exploration of morality and identity. Readers seeking a heartfelt narrative that resonates with both young and old will find 'A Dog with a Bad Name' an enlightening and enjoyable experience. This timeless tale not only entertains but also encourages reflection on the nature of reputation and understanding, marking it as a significant contribution to the canon of children's literature.

    With The Prince’s Poison Cup, Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses in on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death.When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. When she puts the question to Grandpa, he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful times together―until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden well. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To reclaim His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison. The poison will surely kill the Prince―but He is willing to drink it to please His Father and help His people.Richly illustrated, The Prince’s Poison Cup will help children appreciate the great love of God for His people and the awful price Jesus had to pay because of sin. A “For Parents” section provides assistance in unfolding the biblical elements of the story.
