The Bundy Street stories by Marilyn Cram Donahue belong to that small handful of Christian children's books that I can read and enjoy without that uncomfortable shudder that usually befalls me when a religious message or even lecture is forced on me. In fact I loved this volume about Caro, Sylvie, Thu Anh and Tien so much as a kid, that my copy with its crappy cover picture and bad choice of title translation is adorned by the inky equivalent of a gushy, screamy-voiced fangirl review ten-year old me scribbled right onto the title page, starting with FAVORITE! in big, bold letters. Embarrassing, but since nobody gets to see it anyway, it merrits occasional re-reads and certainly five stars.
