Good News For Little Hearts – New Growth Press – 3 Children’s Book Reviews

November 16, 2019 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Since these three books are in a series that teaches children about emotions, I thought I’d review them all together in one post. You can determine which ones will best suit your littles.

 

Gus Loses His Grip

Gus, a raccoon who loves all things sweet, learns what happens when you want something too much. After Gus gets caught taking candy from the store, Papa reminds him that temptation might be strong for us, but it’s not too strong for Jesus. Both Gus and Papa can ask Jesus for help when they want something too much.

In My Opinion

One of the things I appreciate most about the children’s books from New Growth Press is the parent guides to further discussions about the topics in the books. The Good News for Little Hearts series teaches three to eight-year-olds about their feelings.

In Gus Loses His Grip, Gus becomes greedy about sweets to the point he’s hiding things, lying, and stealing. I liked how Daddy Racoon talks to Gus and acknowledges he could use some work in this area too.

Little readers will enjoy the illustrations and meeting more of the woodland creatures from the series. The pace and artwork are comparable to other book series like The Berenstain Bears.

The Silent Noisy Night by Jill Roman Lord & Illustrated by Kelly Breemer

December 14, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

 

In case you weren’t aware, it’s Christmas time! I don’t have any littles of my own but have always loved the idea of people giving their children books for the holidays. Whether it’s a book to open and read on Christmas eve or the tradition of wrapping twelve or twenty for to count down to Christmas, starting a love a reading in children is a win in my book!

If you have young children (the ones who are at the board book stage), The Silent Noisy Night by Jill Roman Lord and Illustrated by Kelly Breemer is definitely one you should check out.


A Silent Noisy Night

About the Book

It may have been a silent night
when Jesus came to earth. OR…
It may have been a NOISY night
to celebrate His birth.

The night Jesus was born is frequently referred to as a silent night. But how could it possibly have been silent if Jesus was born in a manger, with cows and sheep and donkeys and probably chickens and mice and birds all celebrating His birth? How could these creatures keep quiet?

The Silent Noisy Night takes on a new twist to the Christmas story by exploring what the night may have been like if all the creatures and people celebrated the birth of Jesus in their own God-given, special ways. With cows mooing and donkeys braying, it may have been a very noisy night.

This B&H Kids book includes a Parent Connection, an easy tool to help moms and dads (or anyone else who loves kids) discuss the book’s message with their child. We’re all about connecting parents and kids to each other and to God’s Word.
