The author has done it again! This is a fine book, one that is accessible to children and yet a wonderful read for all ages. The artist's work perfectly compliments the text. I am buying this book for my friends and for their church libraries. I high recommend it!

I absolutely love the Little Blessings books. Before I had a child of my own, I did a ton of babysitting for others. One little boy that I sat for had these books. I loved reading them to him. He really enjoyed these stories and better yet, they teach you about the Lord and what He's all about. They have ones that explain prayer, the cross, about God, about Jesus, about Heaven, and about Angels, etc. Not only do the kids learn, but you pick up things as well. All information in the book comes from verses in the Bible. The book answers many questions that you or your child may have concerning God or Jesus or how to pray. I bought almost everyone of these books to read to my son. I hope that he will be as enthusiastic as others were. Plus, they rhyme and what kid doesn't like rhyming books? It's a great way to spend quality time with your little one. I totally recommend purchasing these books.

This book has a beautiful message and artwork. Worthy of being a part of every Christian's library.

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I knew it would be a good book to read to my toddler, based on what I saw from the "Click to Look Inside" in the amazon site. But there's more to this book than just simple phrases and questions - it actually gives a background of who Jesus is, based on the bible - in story and rhyme form. The first part of the book shows the curiosity of a child - where he/she asks questions about Jesus:

Dear Jesus, please show me, for I want to see
The ways you're the same and yet different from me.
....What made you feel happy?
And what made you mad?
Was there ever a time when you felt really sad?
Did you always take time to pray every day?
When you talked to God, tell me, what did you say?
I feel so unhappy that you had to die.
Oh, why did that happen to you, Jesus? Why?

The second part of the book are the answers to these questions - spoken in Jesus' perspective.

I'm Jesus, God's Son, and I want you to see
The Bible can teach you a lot about me.
I came from my Father to show you the way
To live as God wants you to live every day.
I came to the earth as a baby, like you,
So you have a birthday, and I have one too!
I came down from heaven as God's only Son
To show all the world that God loves everyone.
...I felt all the very same feelings you feel
The joy that I have for my people is real.
I spoke out in anger at people who lied;
I cried when I heard that a good friend had died.
I prayed to my Father in good times and bad
He listened to every concern that I had.
...I died on a cross so that others could live
And know there is nothing that God can't forgive.
...That God's love is so great, it will never run out.
Now that is good news to tell others about!

The third part of the book is made up of Bible References:

I loved to tell stories to any who'd hear,
While people would gather from far and from near.
They followed me closely wherever I led,
So eager to hear every word that I said.

-Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. MATTHEW 13:34
Large crowds followed him wherever he went. MATTHEW 4:25

I definitely recommend this book!

We love this book! It makes a great bedtime story with a wonderful story. There are lots of opportunities to discuss Jesus throughout the book. For example, the author asks through a child's point of view if Jesus had a favorite toy. I don't often think of Jesus as a toddler! I enjoy the Bible references in the back. We have many of Ms Bostrom's books and would recommend them all!

I love all little blessings books. My kids love the pictures and the rhyme/poem type way of story telling keeps my kids ages 2 and 4 interested. Quick for bedtime and a great way to spur good conversation right before bedtime prayers.

I love this book. A wonderful way to teach young children about Jesus. This is one of my girls' favorite books (they are 2 and 4).

We have the whole "Little Blessings" series of 7 books, and we absolutely love them. My mother gave these to my daughter for her 1st birthday and they are her absolute favorite books. They are a bit long for a 21 month old still, but I'm looking forward to many times reading them still. An absolute MUST for any Christian family!!!
