Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-18 00:00:00 Talbot Sadler So, I apparently did not pay very close attention when I found this book on-line, as I did not realize it was a children's book (duh). This book's intention is to instill children with a sense of faith in God and the world around them. However, to people raised as Christians some parts of this book may appear to be superstitious or multi-deistic. I believe the author & his granny were Hindu, and in other texts he describes the Hindu religion as believing there is one God who is able to take on many forms, such as the animals around us. Another way he explains it is that God is *in* all living things. Anyhow, that should be kept in mind if you are a Christian with not much experience in other religions when choosing this book for your kids. I liked the book, but found some parts a little too superstitious for my taste.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-01 00:00:00 Tarnya Porter This was a good book but it didn't really make me want to keep reading it because I wasn't interested after about 70 pages. I choose this book because my dad wanted me to read it. I would recommend this to another student because a lot of people go through what the girl did in the book. I think Jan walker wrote this book because she taught parenting and family classes to hundreds of men like Jenna's dad.
