Hermie, a Common Caterpillar - Review

We just received and read Hermie, a Common Caterpillar

by Max Lucado.  We've always loved Hermie, and especially

God's loving message to him, "I'm not finished with you yet!"

So, we were all excited to get this new version.

The message is sweetly delivered, in a fun manner.  My

three year old loved everything about it.  My 7-year old

loved that he could easily read the book.  All of that makes

this mom smile, not to mention it's a beautiful book.

You really can't go wrong with anything Max Lucado

delivers, and this is now on my list of faves.  Go get it...

and grab one for a friend!

***I received this book free of charge from BookSneeze, in exchange for an honest

review.  My thoughts were not influenced in any manner.***

Gabby, God's Little Angel

This first book in a delightful new series by Shelia Walsh offers a comforting message for young readers-God loves you very much and is always watching over you!

What little girl wouldn't love her very own guardian angel? Parents and children alike will be won over by this humorous tale of Gabby, a guardian angel in training who has much to learn about taking care of God's little ones. Her new assignment is to protect a young girl named Sophie, but Gabby soon realizes that watching after Sophie is a bigger challenge than she had expected! After a close call while riding her pony, Sophie learns what the Bible says about guardian angels: "He will put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go" (Psalm 91:11 ICB).
