Great for children of all ages!!!

My four year old loves this book. He likes the look of the overall pages, the color, the veggies. He likes that the pages rhyme. All in all, you could not ask for a beeter book that explains how much God loves you. We do devotion time at our home each evening and this book works its way in almost everytime even though new books have been bought. I love it and I know that you and your family will also.

Very Honest

This book, by Cindy Kenney and Brian Ballinger is a very honest book. It doesn't get into Jesus or faith or scripture. It could be used by anyone that believes in a God that takes a personal interest in your life.

Each character recounts a few of the things that are right and wrong with them and says that God loves them anyway. The French Peas say "We once were fish slappers, we've even thrown shakes. But God loves us even though we make mistakes." Laura Carrot talks about her parents taking care of her when she's sick and God being there, too. And yes, Junior Asparagus is in this one.

It's a page per character and simple to read. It's fun to do voices, if you know them or just make them up, if you don't. We started reading this one before our kids started watching Veggie Tales and some things were confusing, because they didn't know the characters, but they quickly accepted that the characters were each unique, but God loved them that way. I will say, though, now that my kids are watching Veggie Tales, they get more out of the characters.

Beware on used books not being clean.

Disliked the book was dirty had spots that looked like food was on back cover. I knew the book was used but didn’t think I would have to clean it up before my child could touch it.

Awesome book! It was my 12 year old daughter's favorite. My 9 year old soon loved it too! We passed it on to our 1 year old son in good condition and he ruined it, so I purchased this one as a replacement. It isn't the same quality as our old one, but still a well loved book.
