My latest review is of the book, "Who Will Play with Me? (A Slugs & Bugs Story)", written by Randall Goodgame. This book is based on the Scripture, Philippians 2:3, with an emphasis on how we should put others first. B&H Publishing gave me a complimentary copy of this book, and in turn agreed to write this review.
I am a Preschool teacher, so I wanted to review this book to see if it would be a good one to read to my class. I work at a private Christian school, so we can talk about the Bible. This book is geared to helping children see that they should not think only of themselves, but how we can think about others first.
The book is beautifully illustrated with fun pictures of the slug and bug (the main characters). The text is big, so it is very easy to read when reading aloud. The story flows smoothly with some rhyming words. It is a little on the long side for younger children, but it is just fine for children ages 4 and above.
This story is a good one to teach your children a valuable lesson about humility and valuing others. I would read this story to my Pre-K class, and definitely would recommend it to parents with younger children. Overall, it is a solid story with colorful and fun illustrations.
