We have a ton of children's books in our house but I was excited to get this one in the mail. It's my first children's book review!! I had quite the critic sitting next to me to give input as well. Let's just say she was super happy to be handed this book. This is a cute little story about a cub and her grandfather talking about various forms of love and why we love. They were fishing and otters kept jumping scaring their fish away. Cub got mad, as would any kid really. Grandpa explained that she must have love for the otters even when she doesn't want to because God is love. They go through different situations in which a person should love others, love God and trust God. Grandpa answers the age old children's question about the kissy love of Mama and Dada too.
Although I thought this book was pretty cute it says it was written for children ages 0-3 years. I'm not so sure it was broken down into good enough language for that age. And some of the other concepts it tries to teach a bit other whelming for his age But it holds truth that adults sometimes need help with!! It's definitely worth reading to children at some point to reinforce loving others, just not to under age 3 like its meant for.
