Back Cover Review:

I read this book to my daughter's kindergarten class. As soon as I said the  name of it, a boy starting singing the title to the tune of "This Little Light Of Mine." Very cute! They were thoroughly engaged to the rhyming words of this easy-to-read and easy-to-listen to story - and equally fascinated with the fun and vivid pictures that entertained their eyes on each page. This storybook covers everything from nighttime fears to making wise decisions at school. My 3 and 5-year-olds daughters were equally fascinated when I read this book at home and at class - LOL, I think I'll be reading this one often...and what a great way to start a frequent conversation about prayer!!!
