A great read for that special child in your life teaching them about love and forgiveness.

This is a great story about love and forgiveness that young children can easily relate to and understand. My 2 yr. old quickly picked up on the repetitive text chiming in on each page. The bold and detailed illustrations draw the reader into the story. Perfect for bedtime or part of a classroom library.

Having read most of the books written about Fr. Mychal Judge, I was anxious to add this children's book to my collection.  Especially since I would like my own young child to grow up learning from his lessons of love, faith, forgiveness & acceptance.  I was not at all dissapointed by this book.  It contains beautiful illustrations and a lovely story that tells of the life of Fr. Judge in a way children can understand.  I bought a copy for my child's (Catholic) school as well as for our Church library in addition to our copy.  I hope many will be touched by this lovely book.

A really sweet book with wonderful illustrations. I love that it teaches about the love a parent has for a child - irregardless of good/bad actions, etc.

This book reminds me of the stories my mother would make up and tell me while trying to teach a great lesson.  And that exactly what the author did.  Silke Schnee used her experience of her children, one with down syndrome, to highlight the good attributes in all.  And even though the youngest prince is a little different, he can do amazing things too.  Everyone has their own perspective on life. Just because he has down syndrome doesn't make his just as important and unique.

I enjoyed this book.  It was filled with love towards the little prince. I think it is a great way to start discussions with my kids about how to interact, treat, and think of children who are different then themselves. The book itself never says the little boy had down syndrom

This is a great book. We love our children and want what is best for them. In heated moments of life it is easy to forget that we are to show them the grace and mercy that we have been given. Paul David Tripp gives great insight to the heart of a parent that helps enable them to let go of their issues and grow to be the parent God intended. Many examples of the teaching moments in life that give us opportunity to lead our family to Christ.

The author, David Roper, is a personal acquaintance.  The consideration David, my friend, shows to others and the insight he has into the workings of close relationships are evident to the adult reader of this delightful children's book.  I love books that teach what is good.  And I don't like books that try to 'back up into' good behavior.  Some books show bad behavior and then attempt to show sorrow and regret for that bad behavior.  However, I have observed that most children will remember cutting remarks, embarrassment caused to others, and mean behavior easier than good behavior.  This is NOT that kind of book.  The unfortunate behaviors of the characters are inadvertent. The little old man and the little old woman quickly rectify the situation when they realize the unintended consequences of their actions.
The Little Old Man, the Little Old Woman, and the Little Red Hen is a book makes it easy to teach your children about unintended consequences.  You can help your child think about how others feel.  It is a wonderful story of a realistic, albeit fictitious situation, with practical application everyone's life.

Jesus message is for us to love one another by showing each other kindness. Kyle learns this valuable lesson in Kyles Smile as how a simple smile to a sad stranger can start a domino effect in kindness in making the world a better place. With a wonderful surprise at the end for Kyle and his wonderful smile!

Marcus has an amazing way with words that teaches children kindness and caring for others but also a beautiful story that children will want to read over and over again. Inspiring and motivational perfect for children 3-8 however as someone who has worked with children with special needs I found this an exceptional tool in helping special kids to understand kindness. I also recommend for Sunday school teachers teaching little ones Gods lessons on being kind to one another. Not only is this story exceptional Marcus also includes a coloring book to download that matches his stories wonderfully making this a storybook that children will learn a valuable lesson as well as be delightfully entertained.  A wonderful addition to any childs library that parents will love too.

What a charming and insightful book! This is the story that teaches our children that they, too, serve God, in their own way!  Just as the Little Drummer Boy taught my generation that we all have gifts to give to God, Eli, the stable boy shows our children that they can have a real part in the story God is writing for them!

The illustrations are charming, the story is engaging, and the lesson is well taught, and one that will be remembered for lifetimes.  I recommend this story and book to anyone with children, awaiting the coming of Christmas and the birth of Christ.

I picked up this copy of Forever My Little Girl: Loving Your Daughter for Now and for Always by Karen Kingsbury.  The illustrations are so sweet and the story is even sweeter.  It follows a little girl as she grows up.  The storyline includes Bible verses, prayers and darling dialogue that makes you feel sentimental about every stage of life with your child.  It's a great read and a fun book to give to your daughter at any age.  You could start reading it with her when she's little or give it to her as a graduation give to help show her how much she's been loved for her whole life.  I got a little teary eyed reading it and thinking how quickly my daughter will grow.  I love the reminder that she'll forever be my little girl.

Sweet story that teaches such a valuable lesson about helping others out of love. After reading this my child decided to find nice ways we could help others in our community. What a great way to teach a child about selflessness and generosity.

Like the other parable books by Liz Curtis Higgs, this is a wonderful story for children that has a lesson to it. Maggie learns the lesson of forgiveness and the true story of Easter.  It is a book that will surely  bring a tear to the eye of a mother reading it to her child.  I recommend  it highly.

Grannys Guitar is a delightful childrens book that teaches positive life values at a young age.  In the story, Amandas prized teddy bear is snatched away by a bully.  In her quest to find her teddy bear, Amandas granny tells her an amazing story of a lost guitar and teaches her the value of having a positive outlook in the midst of a sad situation.

As the book unfolds, it beautifully illustrates how it is possible for many blessings to come from one sad encounter.  After all, if Granny hadnt lost her guitar, she never would have met her husband, and had Amandas mother, who in turn had Amanda.  As granny tells the story, the look on Amandas face is priceless as she realizes the possibility of blessings.

In reading, I discovered a secondary moral to the story too.  It shows the respect that Amanda has for her granny.  And, can teach children to always listen to their elders as they were young once and have much to teach us.

As a grown-up, I must admit that I also enjoyed this book.  The illustrations brilliantly conveyed the mood of each scene.  At the beginning, the bright colors projected Amandas joy with her teddy bear.  As the bully takes it, the colors turn darker.  Then, they slowly brighten once again as Amanda realizes the possibilities of blessings, ending in a scene that conveys paradise.

Overall, Grannys guitar is a heartwarming, magical childrens book.  It would be an excellent resource to include in the homeschooling curriculum of pre-school age children.

Max Lucado did a remarkable job in letting children know they are loved no matter what they do. It shows the unconditional love between a child and a parent. It also allows you to discuss the unconditional love that God as for us all. Just In Case is a beautiful hardcover book that is beautifully illustrated by Toni Goffe. I recommend it to all parents to read to the children. I know I can't wait to read it to my nieces and nephew.

This book teaches children the importance of telling the truth.  It uses an example that everyone can relate to and makes them understand the importance of friendship and forgiveness.  The questions at the end are very thought provoking and helpful to review with young readers to help teach them values.  My grandson thoroughly enjoyed it!

Acts of Love and Kindness, A Kids Book! The Parable of the Good Samaritan by Maura Kempa is an engaging story that teaches important life lessons of kindness in an inviting and friendly manner. My children loved the author's depiction of the biblical  kind samaritan parable and I think got more out of it than the real thing! Loved the photos which sent the messages loud and clear. Definitely looking forward to reading more of Kempa's books in the future!
