and loving experience acquired from raising seven children, David and
Ruth Elliott have written and beautifully illustrated a heartwarming
story about a young boy that will engage readers of all ages. Combining
familiar themes of a lost pet, the 'Why can't I do what others do?'
and the wonder of a father's sacrificial love, THE RICHEST KID IN THE
POORHOUSE reminds us all of the faith and values that make life truly
worthwhile." - Patricia Ann 'Pann' Baltz, 1993 California Teacher of
