Crossway Books & Bibles Max Lucado's Wemmicks: Punchinello and the Most Marvelous Gift, Picture Book

With the Maker-Day Festival fast approaching, Punchinello wants to do something really big for Eli, the woodcarver. But everyone else he meets in Wemmicksville is also trying to make the best contribution to the festival. Hans believes that his seven-layer chocolate cherry truffle cake with double butter-cream frosting will be the best part, but Violet is sure her bountiful bouquet will come out on top. Lucia knows her vocal solo will make the day, and Dr. Marvelis eager to show off his magnificent Marvellaphony-organoni. What can Punchinello do?

When all of Wemmicksville gathers for the unveiling of the cake and the bouquet and Lucia's solo, Punchinello accidentally destroys the cake, the bouquet, and the Marvellaphony-organoni! What could have been a disaster results in a marvelous gift, and the people of Wemmicksville realize that Maker-Day is not about cake or a bouquet--it's all about Eli. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

Winner of an Excellence in Media 2005 Silver Angel Award!

I am 17 years old, and i went to a leadership camp this summer. While there one of the speakers actually read this book to us during their sermon. When he first told us he was going to read a story he used to read to his kids at bedtime i was thinkin ohhhh boy. However the Lord really spoke to me while he read the story it really showed how even a story meant for little kids can really impact even the lives of older people. The Lord rebuked me for caring to much about what other people think, and not enough about what he my heavenly Father thinks. He is the most important person and i should desire to respect him and please him above all others. It really meant alot to me and i just wanted to let people know :) thanks so much for making this available!
Thanks again Jenna

We love everything from Max Lucado, and this book is no exception. We also have the DVD, so the book was a great addition to our collection. Great to read at Christmas or any time of year.

This is the third in a series of stories about Wemmicks, and it again shows children how wonderful God is and how much He delights in His children and spending time with Him. I read it to a group of children I have in an after-school program, ranging in age from 6 to 11. I was afraid they might be a little distracted and bored because of its length, but they hung on every word. The story has a build-up of suspense, and when the climax came, I had a lot of reaction from the children-just what Max Lucado would have wanted!

I purchased this book for my 6 yr old grandson. He liked the book & commented on things as I read to him. I like to get books for his age to keep him interested in the story.

Based on how well pleased I am with the *You Are
Special* book, I have purchased 2 copies of this one. I am saving them as a gifts for grandchildren to be presented at their special occasions. I anticipate they will just as enriching for their spiritual growth as the first book has proved to be.
