God Gave Us Family
is a children’s book that teaches the importance of family. As he is off to a
pack reunion with his parents, a young wolf learns about different kinds of
families and extended family as well. He sees other children living with large
families, adoptive families, grandparents, and single parents before learning
that his pack is considered family as well. It is a valuable lesson for young
children, who often see life through the context of their own experiences or
those close to them.
I have a three year old and a one and a half year old, and
they both enjoy this book. The illustrations are cute and have plenty to look
at, and the book is generally attractive to young children. My three year old
follows along and tries to rephrase what is happening, while her little sister
makes one-word comments to recap what she sees. We have another of Bergren’s
books called God Gave Us You, which
is a simpler board book targeted to slightly younger children. God Gave Us Family is a little longer
and has more pages and words, but as I said I still found it appropriate for my
little ones.
I would definitely recommend this book to parents of young
children. It is appropriate for a pretty wide range of ages (3-5 is probably
the best though) and it teaches some great truths about family as a gift from
God.
I received this book
for free from the publisher through the Blogging for Books blogger review
program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and
thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with
