wonderful book

What a great book!! Great rhyme and great message in this book. A great way to tell kids how much you love them and that God loves them too. My son loves this book. He likes the part with the owl...to whooooom?

A beautiful Bedtime Story

I read this book in a store once and it has stuck with me for years. Now that I have children I am looking forward to reading it to them

Loved, safe and secure

This book is a joy for any age child. The rhymes are fun and silly, and the drawings are wonderful. My 2 year old daughter loves it, and I love reading it to her. Walt Wangerin is a wordsmith of the finest level. I rate this highly for any child, and it is always on my gift list for first or second birthdays.

Safe in God's Hands

This will be last book read every night before the light is turned off. The rhyme explains in many ways how much the child is loved, first by the person reading the book and then by God. The closing imagery of the child's bed held in God's hand invites the child to close their eyes and dream sweet dreams, safe in God's care. My son loves it!
