   "...Young Robin Hood had the boys laughing at Robin's antics by page two and asking for more of the story whenever I tried to move on to another activity.... Young Robin is a bit of a character himself, not unlike my active, adventuresome boys.... I would venture that boys of all ages will likely smile at the banter, adventure, and fun." ~ Jennifer, Fairfax, Virginia
