My favorite part about this book is that it is written from a biblical perspective but the message isn't forced on you. This is a big issue with me because we believe in God but are more spiritual than religious.
Duke & I really enjoyed this book, the story is interesting and kept us wanting to get to each page. One of the activities is to find insects on every big picture in the book, Duke really enjoyed that. The illustrations were cute but didn't fall under too cutesy for the younger audience. The story line is thought-provoking and there is even a nod to mythical creatures! We also enjoyed how each character had a different personality and in the end we found out how their characteristics defined their "love language". The 5 Love Languages are: Gifts, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch and Acts of Service. At the end of the book, there was a quiz to determine your child's love language - Duke falls under "Gifts" and "Words of Affirmation". Knowing your child's love language will enable them to give and receive love more easily and strengthen your family.
This is one of those books you read with your child a few times and can hold a lengthy discussion about the content. This is a great book for parents and children - "G" Family approved!
