My 7-year old loves this series and I'm sure my 5-yr will too b/c the he's enjoyed the stories I've read to him already. I hope the author continues writing more of these great stories for the whole family!
Must have for those who work with children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
We purchased every book in this series. One student (11) goes to the bookshelf and reads through them on a regular basis. This same student marks the stories he likes and insistently says, "Please read this one & then share it with the class". Every book has numerous stories tagged for my attention with Post-It Notes. If that isn't a glowing endorsement of the series, I don't know what could be better. Great read-aloud book for the younger ones and excellent independent reading with the older students during choice time.
Excellent for devotions

I bought the whole set of these a couple years ago. We read them for devotionals at night. They have short little stories that usually didn't take long but they make you think. So they are great if you have a family of mixed ages. Once in a while there will be a long story but all the stories are marked whether they are short or long. The stories are also based in the past so you are learning a bit of history as well. We learned a lot through reading them.
