MY TAKE:

WOW! This book was really great!! Kids of ALL ages would love it! Like it says in the summary....it is an easy read for children to read on their own, or if you read it to them, it is easy for them to understand. It is written in rhyme, so it is very sing songy. It has an AWESOME message too! God is always with you no matter what...no matter who you are. He is always there. Great book! I would recommend it to any one of any age!!!
