appeal. \u00a0The narrator (Hal Young) does a great job bringing the events and people to life, and the added sound effects are a nice addition (that&#8217;s one thing the boys tell me when I read aloud, that I don&#8217;t do great sound effects.) \u00a0My guys enjoyed listening to Hero Tales while drawing or building their legos and the biography of George Washington is their favorite story.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Disclaimer: \u00a0I received a complimentary copy of Hero Tales for the purpose of writing a fair and honest review. \u00a0I received no other compensation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If any of the links do not work, please visit her blog at\u00a0http:\/\/thehappyhomeschoolmom.blogspot.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published with Permission Written by Lisa Trombley http:\/\/thehappyhomeschoolmom.blogspot.com Almost two years ago, I had the opportunity to read and review the book\u00a0Raising Real Men, Surviving and Teaching Boys\u00a0by Hal and Melanie Young. \u00a0You can read my review on it\u00a0here.\u00a0 It was an outstanding book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is raising boys.
