Grand kids loved the book, I got one for each of them. Some enjoyed the story and some the activities, some found the bible verse section a bit hard to understand on their own.

Although the book was interesting, some concepts/words were a bit difficult for her to understand at her age. Her favourite part was When Ferruccio was found after the night of being lost. we talked about The love of God

The book the kids started was very interesting. We could practice reading and understanding. We spoke about the story and discussed how the dog felt. We spoke about feelings. The book introduced us to scripture and how God works in our lives for our good. It was a very good idea to end the introduction of the book with the comparison of where he came from and where he was now. The use of dull and bright colors really showcased sad and happy to the children’s. The kids loved ending the introduction with a coloring of a picture of the dog on his bed. It gave me an opportunity to ask how coloring in makes them feel. We can’t wait to find out the big mistake.

It teaches us about how Rules are made to keep us safe and protected not to punish or making us feel not loved as many time we see it that way as punishment instead of protection and not listens things can go terribly wrong and dangerous for us in ways we didn’t expect like Ferruccio did.the kids loved answering questions and word search as for me I love bible verses as it motivates me daily.
