Customer Reviews

Incredible Christian book that's perfect for my toddler!

I received this as a shower gift for our first child while I was pregnant. We began reading it to her on a regular nightly basis at about 4 months, and she loves the book. She points out the kitty cat and the rabbit slippers, GiGi, Frances and the table and tea set, etc. She just LOVES this book, and it is a good introductory book for toddlers that helps them begin the relationship with God. Every night now, when we're reading something else or she gets tired, she pulls that thumb out of her mouth just enough to say, "Gigi!" with a large dimply smile.

A Great CHRISTIAN story for all children; boys and girls

I originally bought this book for my daughter based on the title. With my children being less than 20 months apart, I usually read them stories together. This book was no exception. My daughter loved it for its princess qualities that were not Disney related and my son enjoyed learning how we are all princes and princesses in God's kingdom. (Note: there is a book specific to Princes, as well) This book has brought about numerous conversations with my children on religion, God, creation, what it means to be a part of His Kingdom, etc. There are so many wonderful conversations to have with your children once you read this book. It is very easy to read and follow along, even my 5 year old can read it.

Excellent Story!

This is a great book!!! My daughter loves all of the Gigi books, but this is her favorite so far. After stating the fact that we are all children of the King of Kings at the end, it doesn't go into any details of what that means. I think this makes it even better because it allows us to have conversations with our children. My princess & I have had many great bedtime talks about this, and I love it! The book is very funny. Gigi is full of herself, but it is also a great underlying lesson about pride. Her bubble gets burst when she discovers she is indeed NOT the only princess! GREAT BOOK! Buy it!

Princesses of All Ages!

I first read Gigi to one my grand daughters, all 4 of them are princesses. The story and its content were just precious! I even related to many parts of the story myself...those who know the Lord as the King of Kings can smile with pure joy, knowing they are a true princess of the richest King of all. The illustrations by Meredith Johnson were priceless! Author Sheila Walsh is a brilliant, tender and passionate woman who loves the Lord and delights princesses all over the world through Women of Faith, her CD's and her books. Thank You Sheila The book was perfect when Twin Oaks Church in San Jose, CA hosted a Mother-Daughter event entitled "All of God's Princesses"... Granny "O" (Granny Ora Oaks) came and read the story to all. And it was loved by all princesses, young & old, big & little, all shapes and sizes! Several Gigi books became the door prizes! I'll encourage anyone to read this sweet little book of reality on every level... or incorporate it into a Princess Event in your sphere of influence. It is like sipping a cup of Chamomile Tea with an endless smile on your face!

Pink-loving princesses will love it!

What's not to love about a curly-haired, freckle-faced "princess" with an attitude? Gigi had known from the day she was born that she was a princess-although she wasn't exactly sure why. With no castle or royal treasures, she didn't live like a princess. She had no subjects-even her cat didn't obey her. Yet, through this little story, Gigi learns that it is not the castle or the crown that makes a princess, but the declaration of the King-"you are God's little princess." This simple message of belonging to "the greatest King of all" was created by Christian communicator, singer, and songwriter Sheila Walsh. Pink-loving princesses will love the whimsical illustrations by Meredith Johnson. Although royals of all ages may enjoy Gigi and her quest, its simple story line is probably geared to the youngest princesses who lay in wait for a bedtime story and a sweet reminder of God's gracious love. -- Susan Hammond, Christian Book Previews.com
