This book is a Christian book with references to Jesus. People of other beliefs will probably not be interested in this book.

This review is from: Boxes, Boxes Everywhere (Hardcover)

I would not have bought this book if I had read the reviews first & realized it's a Christian book. And to be honest it starts out good but when it gets to "Mama stoops to kiss my hand. She tells me JESUS UNDERSTANDS He left his house and his room too, so he could go to someplace new" I was a little uneasy. I'm not a Christian but I think it's a little weird to be comparing our families move to Jesus's death.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has a Christian Message, Just so You Know...It is still a good book, July 19, 2006

This review is from: Boxes, Boxes Everywhere (Paperback)

This is a Christian book published by a Christian publisher and endorsed by a Christian organization (MOPs - Mother's of Preschoolers). Amazon allows you to view the back of the book where you can find this info, so hopefully you are not surprised when you receive the book. So...now you know the premace from which the book was written. In spite of that - or because of that depending on your viewpoint - this is a great book to explain moving. We moved across country with our 2.5 and 1 year old, and it was terrific for both, especially for our 2.5 year old.
