Far Flutterby *Review*


Far Flutterby was written for young readers aged 4-7 and written by Karen Kingsbury and illustrated by Jennifer A. Bell.  Far Flutter introduces Cody the caterpillar in the town of Better-than-Brown.  Cody longs for something more from life than being stuck on the ground watching others fly about.  But, with a little faith and patience, he realizes God has bigger and better plan for him, one which will give him wings and make him a butterfly so he can  take off to anywhere he wishes, including the wonderful land of Far Flutterby.  
Far Flutterby is a whimsical read that will inspire children (and parents) to have faith that their dreams will be realized.  Young readers will learn that God has a plan for them filled with wondrous things.  Like Cody, they will also find that through hard times, comes wings, as long as they have faith in God.  


My Review:
This is a beautiful story!  I love the vibrant pictures with bright colors but the message is wonderful.  This is a great book to read to children but at the same time this is a great book to use to cheer someone up or encourage them too!  I loved reading it to my children but as I was reading I was thinking of a person who I think I could use this book as a way to encourage them.  :)  The best thing to remember is God has a plan for each and everyone of us!  What a powerful and awesome message to get to everyone.  :) Remember keep the faith and trust God.  I am so happy to have this book in my library!  :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible.  She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited.  Then with the leather she was more exci...
