Sweet story for our new granddaughter.  Cannot wait until she is big enough to truly understand the message.

Brings the Bible to life for young minds. A meaningful reading time for grandparents to grandchildren who are 5 or older.

Exactly the experiences and advice I would like to share with my grandchild  and hope she remembered in the years ahead.

That said, although I bought the book with the intention of including it in  a gift for her 13th  birthday, which is coming up  in the next 10 days  after reading the pages myself and loving  every word, I have to wonder if this book might not be more appropriate for a slightly older child.

They say that the best way to  prepare kids for the new experiences is practice with appropriate responses in advance, but in this case, although my grandchild is bright, articulate and already both a gifted artist and writer, I'm not sure she can relate yet to some of the suggestions in the book (such as treating herself to a massage . . . putting fine china to use every day . . . or spraying her sheets with perfume.) Some day, absolutely! But  just not yet.

I might still present the book to my granddaughter, but if I do, I probably also will suggest that even if  it doesn't interest her  now,  that she she put it away and turn to it if she ever wonders how  her grandmother would suggest she handle a challenging situation.

Then again, I might just keep it for myself to enjoy whenever I find myself  wishing I had someone  guide me with truth and wisdom.

The grandkids all love to have it read to them.  They're just beginning to start counting and doing their ABC's.

We ordered this book for our 10-year old grandson with the hope that it will
encourage him to want to read more.  We, his grandparents, enjoyed the book and we
hope that it will be a help to him.

Great read for grandchild.  She loved the story.  A kindergarten child and younger will like the book.  Nice message.

I enjoyed reading these several years ago.  This set is for our grandson.  I don't know if he has begun reading them yet.

It was bought for my great grandson. His parents can read it to him.  When he gets a little older he will be able to read it himself.

I believe this to be a very helpful tool in my grandson learning to read.  He loves the book and of course he wants more books.

Reading this old standard to the grandchildren is really something they will remember.  The gift of the book to a child is also a long term memory to save and pass on.

My grandchildren are grown. So when they give me gr8 grandchildren I have a great book to read them. Until then I will count monkeys and use clouds ( in the book a practice to quiet the mind ).
