Gabby, God's Little Angel by Sheila Walsh

Book Description:

This first book in a delightful new series offers a comforting message for young readers—God loves you very much and is always watching over you!

What little girl wouldn’t love her very own guardian angel? Parents and children alike will be won over by this humorous tale of Gabby, a guardian angel in training who has much to learn about taking care of God’s little ones. Her new assignment is to protect a young girl named Sophie, but Gabby soon realizes that watching after Sophie is a bigger challenge than she had expected! After a close call while riding her pony, Sophie learns what the Bible says about guardian angels: “He will put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go” (Psalm 91:11 ICB).

My Thoughts:
The most adorable thing about this book is, by far, the pictures! I already see my girls running their hands over the gorgeous, glittery cover!

The story line is predictable and basic. Nonetheless it would make a cute gift for any little girl. The scriptural message that the Lord sends his angels to watch over us is the context of this story. The author presents it in a childlike and understandable way that will undoubtedly bring questions from your children. Thus the story sets up a perfect opportunity to bring the truth of scripture to your child on their level.

I really liked the way the writing was set up. It’s set up in an attractive way that will help the reader present it more dramatically. It reminded me of the way that Jill Eggleton writes her books. Words like swooping, zooming flying, Oops, wild ride are written in large, bright, bold form. This will definitely draw the child eyes. As I read thru it I saw many opportunities you could teach young children phonics from the descriptive way Sheila Walsh has written this story.
