This book is a great way to involve children in their Bible study with activities and puzzles daily as well as a great devotion that inspired wonderful discussions!! I had not expected to have such clear teaching for my girls at ages 4 & 7, but I am thankful for this book that helped us to do that!! We will probably go back & do it over every year or so until we are ready for the next level!!

The daily devotion guide is an excellent resource for young girls. I gave 3 as gifts and the girls and their parents were quite pleased. We enjoy reading the daily devotional at bedtime.

My 3-year-old daughter and I have enjoyed "God and Me!--Devotions for Girls Ages 2-5" for the past several months. Each day's reading covers a topic such as obedience, faith, sharing, etc., with a Scripture verse and a short story about children this age to illustrate it. Then we use the three discussion questions given to review and make our own personal application. This has often been so relevant to where she is at, and I find this feedback technique an excellent way to know if she really got the point. The facing page has a corresponding activity such as coloring, dot-to-dot, art project to do with mom, or a puzzle. It reinforces the lesson in a very hands-on way and is so good for this active and visual age. The book is spiral-bound which I found makes it easy for my daughter to do the activities. Though all the stories were taken from real-life scenarios, I felt some of them might have been better illustrations of the topics. I also wished for more discussion of the spiritual meanings of the story. But overall, it is written in an attention-getting way for this age group and introduces many new concepts for discussion. I appreciate the book's message that even a small child can learn to know and trust Jesus in every part of their life.

My daughter is really into this book- she loves the activities as well as the devotions- great book!

We have this series and my 6yo (now 7yo) enjoyed it mainly because it enables her to do a devotional workbook like her older brother. The fictional anecdotes are sometimes too short and often a bit awkward in the attempt to make a scriptural application. Same for the puzzle/activity pages. There is a brief scripture at the opening of each entry but it appears to take a back seat to the author's text. We have countered that by reading the passage from our own Bible before hand and discussing that as well. Although the material is "fluffy" is does provide a springboard for discussion, and it has helped to encourage my child to create the habit of getting into God's word daily. Cute little book, but if you are looking for "meat" keep looking. When she gets a bit older we will use "Real Life Encounters with God" by Child Evangelism Fellowship/TyndaleKids, an excellent devotional.

My 7 year old daughter loves this book. I don't say a word and she does it every morning as her devotional.

I bought this devotional for my 5 year old daughter. We both love it. I would highly recommend it for young girls.

This devotion book just doesn't have enough to it - the devotions are too short, there's not enough meat to it. My 7 year old is bored by it. Keys for Kids, a devotional magazine, is more to her liking.

Love these devotional books. Have purchased them for my daughters and nieces over the years. Wonderful introduction to spending time with God.

I would have liked to have known how many pages had writing on them. There were many I had to white out.
