Gave to my 10 year old nephew for Christmas. He was very excited! The story plot is simple, but uses old fashioned writing style. Encouraging and sweet!

My Son Loved It
From Heather Williamson of Panama City Beach, Florida on 6/29/2016.

My 7 year old son could relate to Basil in this story. It's a great story about the ripple effect of one little boy's prayer and how his entire family changed for the better. It was a little more difficult for him to read alone, because of the extensive vocabulary, but we enjoyed reading it together.

This books grabs you as soon as you start reading it. The principles in this book are a treasure. It also makes me want to journal in my Bible as I look up and re-read passages mentioned in the text. So convicting are the words and lives of the characters in the story. Always pointing to our Holy Savior Jesus Christ.

Great Little Read!

I loved this character. His integrity shows that age does not determine wisdom. Nor, does it dictate the influence we can have in another's life. Great read for children and prayers that they grasp its lessons and take them to heart. :) Gotta love happy endings, too!

"Basil" is a delightful story! Trusting God
and then seeing how the Lord is faithful to
take care of those who fear Him was a blessing.
It reminded me to be industrious and neat with
all God has put in front of me. A great book for fathers, mothers and children!

I just loved this book. They content is interesting and my grandchildren enjoyed it immensely. This book alone is proof of the"dumbing down" of our children. Thank you so much for making these books available. Kingdom awareness for our children.

Loving This One!

This book was not only entertaining but also very engaging for the kids! We read it out loud as a group and it made a big impact on our 12 year old son.

I love these Lamplighter books! Basil is a great story that is very encouraging to me. I'm a grown adult, but I still find these books hold value for everyone.

Our entire family enjoyed this story! Ages 3 to adult! I even find that I no longer desire to dog ear pages in books from one fleeting comment mentioned in this book! Great family focused and Christ centered story!

Entertaining book! Great morals! My boys ages 11 and almost 13 are enjoying it as well. A great pick if you're trying to get the importance of hard work through to your children. Recommended by www.homeschool-your-boys.com.

Wow, talk about a convicting little book. A true picture of how honesty is the best policy, even when it might put you in harm's way. Not only does this story show how important honesty and hard work are, it also gives a convicting account of how lots of times every person in an unhappy home holds a certain amount of responsibility in that unhappiness. Great story to enable young people to see the importance of honesty and hard work, even at a young age. But, a good message for Mom and Dad, as well.
