"With the wisdom, humor, and loving experience acquired from raising seven children, David and Ruth Elliott have written and beautifully illustrated a heartwarming story about a young boy that will engage readers of all ages. Combining familiar themes of a lost pet, the 'Why can't I do what others do?' and the wonder of a father's sacrificial love, THE RICHEST KID IN THE POORHOUSE reminds us all of the faith and values that make life truly worthwhile." - Patricia Ann 'Pann' Baltz 1993 California Teacher of the Year 1993 Disney Teacher of the Year

"The Richest Kid In The Poorhouse is a well-written and illustrated book with an important message for today's kids. The engaging story and fun-filled artwork will keep kids attention to the last page. Like all good children's stories, this one can be read on several levels -both as a simple morality tale, and as an allegory of our deeper relationship with Christ. A great book for the whole family to enjoy together. I recommend The Richest Kid In The Poorhouse highly." - Rev. Vikki Randall, Associate Pastor for Children & Families
