Adventures with Waffles

This is a well-written, hilarious book that hits you right in the heart. Such a precious story. I read it aloud to my 9-year-old son and we both loved it.

My daughter and I read this book for her homeschool little ladies tea book club and we laughed, we cried, and laughed some more! This book was so good we couldn’t put it down. She’s 10. It’s full of life lessons about friendship, family, loss through death and a little bit of Jesus. Highly recommend as a read aloud for families with kids ages 6-13!

This book is a fun read for children even those no longer in childhood. I enjoyed every chapter and word!

This story was hilarious and serious and sad and happy. It was engaging even for my youngest (5 years). I enjoyed it too. However, the portion about the Jesus picture was pretty superstitious. It comes up a few times in the story and I just wish it wasn't there or was only a brief mention. But still, a fun read aloud for the family.

A sweet book read aloud to kindergartner, 3rd and 4th grader. We all loved it. Moves quickly through the story. A few parts might a smidge intense for a sensitive kiddo but I loved it as an adult and hope to find more from this author.

Wow! I have never enjoyed a book as much as this before. It seemed almost every page of dialogue was just a child’s adventure dialogue of genuine thoughts on life as a child.It is like you’re there and seeing all the fun things the characters get into and there are times you laugh and cry as other reviewers have mentioned. It is such a short book, but each page holds a chuckle because of the candid perspective of the main character’s happenings.I will say, I don’t buy books very often. We read this as a part of Sarah McKenzie’s book club and got it from the library. We HAD to keep it! So we bought it here and tried to think of anyone else our family could share it with. The only sad thing is that it’s new, so not enough people have heard of it and we had to wait a while to get it from an interlibrary loan to boot!Can’t say enough fun things about this book!

I read this book to my grandkids (ages 12, 10, and7). We enjoyed it a lot. We laughed at the adventures of Trille and Lena. I would highly recommend this book.

This beautiful book made me cry twice! Maria Parr is a wonderful writer and I would never hesitate to read another of her books. She is realistic enough to make fake things seem real.
