How Roland Rolls Hardcover – Illustrated, September 24, 2013

I love Jim Carey anyway - he sends good things into the world and shifts deeper thinking, usually via the power of a giggle. This may be a children's book, but its significance ripples warmly to all ages. The illustrations by Rob Nason are lively and fantastic, they translate seamlessly with the same richness of Mr Carey's voice, which carries itself unmistakably through the entire wonderful book. As a member of the human race, (but no psycho or theological specialist of any kind..), I would earnestly recommend this for anyone facing a knothole or enduring loss... children included. It's such a lovely perspective, sweetly told, it could do nothing but comfort. Whatever your age - grab this one. You'll find that you'll order a second because there will always be one that you'll lend to your friends. Thumbs up, Mr C - This really matters.

Really good read.Jim's photos are in the back showing expression of the wave characters.

This book is amazing and not just for children. As a teacher in a correctional facility for adults, this book has even worked for them. They love the illustrations and the message behind the story. While the message is somewhat deep, younger kids might not understand it but it is still an entertaining book for all ages. The first time I read the book, it made me teary eyed. Great work by Jim Carrey with awesome illustrations to go along with it!

I could see where a child might actually be scared by this book. Some of the words and pictures are a reach for kid to process I think. I think the quality of the pics is wonderful and creative and bright and the story line is good too - a bit 'deep' for young kids, but then again, that depends on the kid. All in all though, a great book - even if all you do is look at the pictures! I could tell my 4 year old grandson was focusing on the pictures far more than the words, but when he did comment on the story he seemed to be concerned. I prefer our story time to be fun. I know Mr. Carrey can be extremely funny so I hope he focuses on that for his next book. :)

Jim Carrey is a wizard and proves it here with this wonderful story about Roland and what makes him tick. It's a simple story with powerful meaning. Roland is afraid he's only a lowly wave and that when he reaches the beach, his life will be over. But he soon realizes he's not just a wave but the entire ocean, and with that knowledge it's also clear to Roland he has a very big job to do.The world is interconnected and the ocean is a huge part of it. Thank you Jim for a wonderful adventure. I actually purchased this book as a gift for my mom's birthday and I know she's going to love the story and the wonderful illustrations. She's 89!

Beautiful vividly colorful pictures with top grade paper where children want to touch it (adults too) . Short story with hidden messages that can be elaborated by parents reading it to their children of all ages. Very positive story and uplifting plot. Can tell a lot of love and thought went into the creating, drawing, and publishing of this book. Glad to see Jim Carrey not forgetting the children with his fame. This shows another side of Jim Carrey a very talented person. Very pleased with book for my Grandson. Might buy one just for me as a collectors item. Of course I am a Jim Carrey fan.

One of my favorite children's books, especially from a Buddhist perspective. It teaches mindfulness, how to sit with our feelings, and acceptance that a whole entire life is just one brief moment in a whole universe of beauty.

While it's a cute book and well illustrated, I found that the 3 childs that I bought the books for, weren't that into it. I had to explain the message and explin some of the illustrations. Over all it's an OK book. Glad I didn't pay the full price for it!

I definitely didn’t expect this book to be a metaphor for death but it’s still a cute real way to explain it to children. Just hope my sister doesn’t find it too morbid to read to my nephew lol! Cute story still!

Profundo e sensível. Para todas as idades.

great book about life ( and death9) IN A FUNNY KIDSFREINDLY WAY PRESENTED

I was expecting some decent quality work here - but the output seems confused - plus the book is not even compatible with Kindle edition of laptop or viewable properly through kindle device since it is highly picture oriented. I could only view it from cloud reader. waste of money.
