How’d it go?
“I read this book series with my children. My toddler was too young for this series, and my 9- and 11-year-olds were a little too old. The older children did listen, and it gave us a chance to talk about the times they have to deal with their tough emotions and how God wants us to deal with them.” – Darcy VanNyhuis
“This series really kept the attention of our 4- and 7-year-old grandsons. The pictures are great! They learned a lot. They got the message of each book and saw how it fits situations they find themselves in.” – Peg Watson
