I am looking for opinions on this before I check it out for my children. I would have to order it on inter-library loan, so I have no opportunity to review it first.

I found it listed in The Children's Hour Book List by Cay for March. In reviewing it on Amazon, it seems rather New Age.

And I know absolutely nothing about the Celestine Prophesy novel this is supposed to be based on.

Any opinions would be a help. Thanks!

Dear Allegiance Mom,
I removed this book when I redid the list for "A Picture Perfect Childhood". The children and I have the picture book because it was bought many, many moons ago. I loved the artwork. Then I found out about the connection and read too many things about "The Celestine Prophesy" that made me very uncomfortable.

The Children's Hour Book List that is on the web is dated and if I could remember my password I would take it down.

The new and improved list is found in my book and "Song of Celestine" is not included.

Thanks Cay. I just joined the LA yahoo group and downloaded the booklist without realizing it was so old.

Now it makes sense. I'll just skip it.

Thanks!
