It’s been quite a while since I’ve last read a children’s book, let alone a Christian children’s book, as I’ve been engrossed in reading/reviewing nonfiction Christian books for adults. This is why I’m having my Christian inner-child to do the reviewing for me.

As a young Christian child, I’ve enjoyed reading this adorable book written by Dr. Shon Shree Lewis because it reminds me of when I used to go to Sunday School while my parents were inside the church, praying to the Lord.

In Sunday School, I can remember the teacher always wanting to teach us something about being a good Christian and telling us stories the way Jesus did when he went around teaching others to do what they should be doing. I liked preventing to be Coco, the girl in the story for this book, as she learned about not stealing, which is going against one of the ten commandments that the Lord has given us to follow. I liked that the person writing this book did not try to hit anyone over the head with the book’s lesson.

The book also teaches that when you do something wrong, you will get punished for it; since Coco stole candy, her punishment was to go to the dentist. Seeing that she was afraid, her parents told her there’s nothing to be scared of because the Lord is always with you making sure you have the courage to face anything.

To teach other children and me these two important lessons in growing up, I am happy to give the person who wrote this story and this book 5 GOLD STARS. ( )
