Quickly read, for all the times the font goes unnecessarily small (as far as my judgement of the digital proof suggests), this is a tale of how a woodsman with his faithful rifle managed to get out of a strikingly awkward predicament, with not one but four victories. A legendarily good weapon is not to be sniffed at, we're told. The bright and colourful presentation is very much at odds with the old-timey, hokum aspect of the rural storyteller round the rural campfire, but is very suitable for the young reader. As for if the story will draw a re-read in anyone's future, I remain less convinced. Still, three and a half stars for the whimsy it brings to such an inventively done quandary.

Join Three-Knots on his mischievous adventures in the forest in "Campfire Stories: Mischief Maker." A children’s book that is funny and engaging about the a man who enjoys the woods and telling stories. This book could be a trigger for some parents who are against gun use, but hunting is a part of society and with careful and safe use, they are a necessity for many people. I thought the book was cute and engaging.

A delightful and entertaining children's book that captures the imagination and engages young readers. The story of Three-Knots and his mischievous adventures in the forest is filled with humor and valuable lessons about responsibility and making good choices. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, bringing the story to life and making it easy for young readers to follow along. While some parents may find the use of a rifle to kill animals a topic they prefer not to discuss with their children, the reality is this is how many people get their food and have for centuries. It is an honest tale of life that some people live.

That was the strangest “children’s book” I think I’ve ever read.

It was bizarre. Not appropriate for kids. Talking about this fine ol’ mountain man and his mischief maker. Talking about killing animals and shooting his gun.

That being said…I literally cracked up at the story and the illustrations the whole was through.

It could totally work as a book similar to “Go The F$@k to Sleep,” so if that was the goal than, yeah it’s hilarious.

Legit…all of the animals get killed. Kaboom!

I truly don’t understand what this was but it made me laugh. I double checked what this book was…it said it’s to share the love of reading with children. I’m not sure that was achieved here but like I said, it made me laugh. Maybe directing it at a different audience might’ve been a better idea or perhaps writing it as a dark comedy graphic novel would’ve worked better.

I personally would not let my child read this book until she was a teenager. There’s gun and killing and I feel it’s not appropriate for younger children to read this.
