Review:
My son and I read this together on my Nook. I was a teeny bit annoyed that the pictures that went with the narrative were on the next "page". Other than that, it was great.

The story is sweet and I really think my son learned something from it. I've been asking him questions about it and although he wasn't exactly still and attentive when I was reading, he heard all I said.

We've talked about what it means that God is still working on him. We've discussed what it means to be happy with who you are and how God made you.

The words were too hard for my son (who is 5 and reads on 1st grade level) so I did most of the reading, but he's asking for it again so he must have liked it!

I received an ebook copy from Book Sneeze for review purposes. No additional compensation has been received and I was not required to write a positive review.
