My Review

Oh my goodness! This book was so adorable!! It was longer than I thought it would be, which was a nice surprise. I absolutely loved the illustrations, as did my children. I also really liked how everything was explained and how things were related to what children would comprehend. I liked it so much that I went and grabbed a copy of the author's other book, The Holy Ghost Is like a Blanket. It was just as adorable. I've already gifted these books and will be doing so again in the future.
