After four tries, the judges decides the brother sentenced to death must not be guilty, and all five brothers live happily with their mother for many years.

    A fun book to buy for children of any age.

    I bought this book for my 25 year old daughter for her birthday as a reminder of this book that she liked as a small child. She is looking forward to reading it again.

    My favorite childhood book

    I don't know why, but this book has intrigued me since I was a child. It has always been one of my favorites because it allowed me to use my imagination. My 3 children each loved this book. Not a glitzy, colorfully illustrated book, but the story line is fun!

    I remember this book from long ago in grade school

    This was one of my favorite books as a child because I was so impressed at how the four 'other' brothers loyally came to the aid of their first brother for his 'so-called' crime and then outwitted the executioner with each of their given talents and gifts only to get their convicted brother aquitted. Although this book is short, my child had as many questions about the book as it would take to fill an entire book of its own.

    Stands the test of time

    This children's classic was both my husband's and my favorite book as a child. I'm not sure if it is the fantasy of being invincible, or the idea that a family sticks so close together in tough times that makes this storyline so intriguing. The pictures are equally entertaining. I think it is a great tale that is simple and enjoyable for all ages.
