Great Story for Siblings
This story easily translates to getting along within a family. My kids really enjoyed it and could relate to a lot of the interactions. I highly recommend it.

Another great "Monk" book
My kids love the other two books in this series, and this one was immediately loved by all of them as well. This book is told in the same pleasant rhyme as the others and also had some nice humor throne in with a good message. I hope the author writes more!

Realistic
This is the third of the Archangel Monastery series. The monks are having difficulties getting along. Father Abbot investigates. One of the illustrations of a monk splashing another with water from the laundry tub made me think immediately of St. Therese of Lisieux and her struggle with another Sister at Carmel. The monks express very real feelings of anger and aversion that we all experience. The book ends with the monks receiving the sacrament of reconciliation and the chance to begin again.

The Monks Make Amends
An absolutely delightful book for children aged 2-10, about monks who are sqabbling and not getting along. The prayerful Abbot leads them to forgiveness through confession. The author cleverly weaves a Bible verse into a story through rhyme and humour with a moral at the end. The pictures are cute and entertaining as well.
