"I greatly enjoyed reading this book
to my children. They were captivated
by the fascinating details of this
heroes life. The author brought the
characters to life with lively energy
and beautifully drawn illustrations.
This amazing true story is written
from a Catholic perspective. El Cid
epitomizes the moral virtues that
are all but lost in today's society.
This is a perfect addition to any home
schooling program. I highly recommend
this book to anyone with children."
