| | 5. |  | Prince Siddhartha: The Story of Buddha
from Wisdom Publications
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
This is a great introduction to the life of Buddha. All ages can benefit from this story. My son read it from cover to cover. Let's just say, to get him to read is nothing less than impossible. He read it without my asking him to. He just picked it up and read. He is 13 and totally enjoyed it.

I'm all for stories that add some personal interest, but I think that they... more info
