My thoughts: Delightful! Super cute and filled with kid-appeal. The illustrations are in bold, beautiful colors featuring big-eyed sea creatures in cartoony style.On each page there is a tiny Bible hidden for the kiddies to find emphasizing that this is a Christian story and providing those "attention to detail" features that create more interest and concentration. Now, just what is the story and "take away"?
The story is a "first day of school" tale with shyness and how it can be overcome. And then how to have the courage to help someone else who needs you.
There is a strong Christian message of keeping Christ in your heart and being a servant all
geared specifically and charmingly for the young child and young reader. A good book to add to your child's collection.

1. We believe talking about issues at school is the best way to deal with them and making sure she can come to us about anything.
ReplyDelete2. Bullying is one of the biggest major problems in school.
Since we don't go to school, this is not something we deal with much. But there are always problems when dealing with people so we practice being kind and not following friends who do wrong the most so far. Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday last week on Mommynificent.com!

We always ask the kids if they are having problems to come to us, then we discuss and work out a plan for them to handle it. I think it is hardest for kids to learn to get along with others and still have the pressures of learning. Balancing those two seem to be a lot for them to handle.
ReplyDeleteI homeschool, so I don't know for sure... but I think bullying.
