My son wants to be a Ninja for Halloween. We also have a "literature parade" at school where the kids choose a character from a book and then dress up like them for the parade (also at halloween time), but he character cannot be violent or scary. Wink is perfect!! This book is absolutely adorable and both my 6-year-old son and my 10-year-old daughter loved it. Wink learns to make lemons out of lemonade when he realizes he doesn't want to be "stealthy". Anyone who has a k-2 boy understands that they just can't be quiet or sit still and Wink is no different. Notice the drapes in Grandmother's house? Cute!! Cute!! Cute!! And a lesson, be true to yourself and the person you are. Lovely! BTW, we purchased this book used and it arrived in perfectly new condition at half the price (from an seller).
This is a great book for all you ninja lovers out there! And maybe for you ninja lovers that aren't so good at being ninja! Wink finally discovers what he is truly great at and uses some of his ninja skills to do it! Our Ninja loving 4 year old loves this book. We read it all the time!
The first time I read this book to my children and finished the last page, my 3-year-old didn't hesitate: "Again," he said. "I love that Wink," my 6-year-old added. "She did all that art herself?" my 9-year-old asked of J.C. Phillipps, Wink's author and illustrator. Wink's story really does have something for everyone--humor, a sympathetic main character, stealthy ninja moves, fresh and engaging art, and reassurance that kids can (and should) be who they want to be. Kudos to J.C. Phillipps for creating a story that I look forward to reading well after after the bazillionth request from my kids!
I bought this book years ago for my oldest son who wanted a ninja themed birthday party. We were immediately addicted to the humour, the loveable character and the beautiful collages. We also bought "Wink, the Ninja who wanted to nap" by J.C. Phillips and I have read them both countless times to all of my kids, at home, at their schools and at their summer karate camps. When my younger son (now 8) asked me to come in and read it to his class, I couldn't believe that he still hadn't outgrown it. I think he loves that Wink never loses his individuality, and isn't afraid to be different. What a great message!!!
My kids 3 and 5 love this book. It is a fun book to read. My son wanted a Ninja book for Christmas and this was a good pick for him. Wink tries so hard, but being a Ninja is not who he is, so he finds his calling. Would recommend.
What kid doesn't love ninjas? My students all LOVED this book as a read-aloud. I loved the lesson on finding/being your true self and the colorful paper-cut illustrations (the missing curtains were a fun spot) Several wise sayings from the ninja Master made a nice addition as well. Now I want to get "Wink, the Ninja Who Wanted to Nap".
Such a cute an unique story! I love that this story celebrates individuality! I borrowed it from the library and upon our first read through we knew that we would purchase it for our permanent collection! Love it!
I purchasedf this item as a stocking stuffer for my grandson and he loves it! He is so into ninjas! Plus he has to read, or be read to every day as a school requirement. He often reaches for this book! Thanks for a great transaction!
