"Is that for me!?! Is that for me!?!" Grace could hardly contain her excitement when I opened the package. We're a family of die-hard veggie fans. I've been watching since high school thanks to an awesome babysitting gig and my husband since college at Liberty University. It was great when we finally had kids and had a legitimate reason to fule our veggie fanaticism!
This sweet little Christmas book from Veggie Tales delighted all three of my girls. My oldest two snuck off with it on separate days and enjoyed the story before I got a chance to read it to their little sister. It is written in poetic verse and feels Seussian in style. Kids always love a good story in rhyme. The characters are true to their personalities and once again Junior teaches us a lesson to remind us to focus on the Savior throughout the holiday.
This book is really, really short and is best suited for preschool and early elementary. Grace could read some of it on her own which really excited her so early readers will thoroughly enjoy it. I appreciated that there was a good message to focus on Christ and the simplistic message is one we can all benefit from remembering.
Grace read it on her own, then asked me to read it to her...then asked if she could read it again! That's what a good book is like for a kid. They want to read it over and over. If they are bored, it's difficult to get through the first reading. Rhymes are great because it helps kids learn new words while reading a little faster. They recognize the endings and can often figure out words based on the rhyme pattern.
This is a great book for the Christmas season coming up, the perfect gift for the Veggie Tale fan in your life!
