Review: I love this book series they are a great way to showcase stories of the bible, in a fun, easy and engaging way.
In this one Albert is on his own reflecting back on a story his ancestors once told him of a time when a young boy Ben was playing freely and saw a crowd gathering around a man sharing great stories and Ben did something wonderful himself.
It was a really sweet story, it taught of kindness, of care for others and selflessness. These books are wonderful for sharing with young children to teach them the stories but in such an easy fun way. I loved the illustrations they are always adorable and spotting the mouse in the pages is always so cute.
