"A warm, appealing book." (School Library Journal)
"Written in a comfortable, down-home style." (The New York Times Book Review)

Very good book for kids. Excellent narration.

Great performance. Beautiful story, full of heart and just a little suspense. Great for all ages.

"Second Favorite Book!"

Shiloh is my second favorite book and it is amazing! Phyliss Reynolds Naylor did a great job writing this book (so realistic), and Peter MacNicol does a great job narrating this book. He makes it sound like he is telling the story. I also like that he kind of makes different voices for all the characters. AMAZING!

Perfect for my boys

Our boys loved this book (ages 7-11). Great story about love, unselfishness, and hard work!

Sweet story, great narration

My 11 year old son and I loved the voice of narrator. It added a sweetness to the story. We talked a lot about the theme of this book as well as what makes a lie and lie. If you are a dog lover this book will pull at your heartstrings! #happyending #sweepstakes #tagsgiving

a boy's devotion

It's a rare find - a book with a story that touches the human element in all of us. Told from the 'boy's point of view, and true to his language and idioms of the South, there is a Mark Twainesqueness about its storyline. If your child appreciates reality based books, and character development, this has it. A good listen, even for adults.

Shiloh

Tearful, joyful, and inspiring

What was one of the most memorable moments of Shiloh?

I love how Marty stood up for what he believed to be

No, this is my first Peter MacNicol performance. He did a great job with providing consistent and believable voice performances for each character.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole story was moving and I cried frequently out of sadness as well as joy.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend for children and adults alike. It would be great fun to listen to as a family each night before bed.
