Rupert's Tales: The Wheel of the Year - Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, and Ostara

I bought this book for my nephew for yule. It has become a family tradition to read each of the stories to celebrate the turning of the wheel of the year. The stories are sweet and very charming. Rupert is sure to delight readers of all ages.

This book was purchased to use as a teaching tool. There isn't a lot of material available to use for teaching younger children about pagan beliefs or holidays. This book fulfilled the intended purpose in an adorable way. The holidays of Samhain, Yule, Imbolc and Ostara are described by a friendly fairy and observed through a bunny's eyes in a delightful way that grabs the attention of young children. I was delighted at how much the children enjoyed the stories.

This book fills a need for Pagan parents. It is good for early elementary age, perhaps grade 2-5. My younger kids had trouble following the stories a bit and would have liked more pictures. Still, it is a good intro to the Wheel of the Year for kids.

Great beginner Pagan book. Grandchild loved it

I bought this as a Yule gift for my almost 3 yr old granddaughters. Their father is Wiccan so we try and find ways every year to incorporate his beliefs into the family's Christmas traditions. My granddaughters love this book, and I'm now looking into buying other books about pagan traditions by this author.

I brought this for my girls (2 & 6) hoping that it would give them a better idea of the holidays and where the traditions came from. Although some of the stories had details, they only made up a small amount of the story. I was disappointed and left with many unanswered questions and only a vague explanation of the holidays. My two year old liked the pictures and the rabbit narrator (can't expect more than that based on her age). My 6 year old found the back and forth between the characters distracting and couldn't follow the story or understand why I was reading it until I got to the point of each story (where she recognized the traditions). Basically, it is ok if you want a very general overview and don't want to get too involved with the holidays. I'm still looking for a good book for my kids though, this doesn't cut it.

Love it! Super cute stories about holidays.

We are an Eclectic Pagan/Pantheistic family. I have been looking, and looking for just the right book to read to my 2.5 year old son. Not only does this book fill the bill, it completely exceeds it! The illustrations are beautiful. It is clear each word was thoroughly thought out. Rupert has definitely become part of our family's Sabbat traditions!

This is amazing for young children. There aren't many Pagan children's books out there and these ones are exceptional. There are two in the series and each goes over four of the sabbats. The stories rhyme and are perfect for reading to children at bedtime. Highly reccomended!!!

A bit long for my preschooler, but I still love having something that we can read together during the changing of the seasons

Really impressed with the quality of the book. The illustrations are really beautiful, and the stories are sweet and easy to read. My daughter is 4 and she loves these books.

Very good book for pagan kids. Intelligent text and very nice illustrations. Kyrja uses an original poetry style to explain the sabbats.
