Pups of the Spririt


Pups of the Spirit
BOOK DESCRIPTION: 

With adorable pups, kids will enjoy learning fruit of the spirit traits including Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Patience, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control in an easy-accessible way.
Nine Fruits of the Spirit would normally be difficult for little minds to keep track of, but now there are nine personable pups to make it easier and more fun. For puppy lovers and kids ages 4-8 comes a clever picture book that teaches children in a creative way about God’s special attributes for his people.
Each of the canines represents one of the Fruits of the Spirit, introduced one by one with playful rhyming text. Max is filled with love and likes to greet people with a sloppy smooch; Pete the basset hound is so peaceful he falls asleep; Gigi is soft and gentle with God’s creatures. Children, their families, and their teachers will fall in love with the “heavenly hounds” while learning how they can grow closer to God every day.

MY THOUGHTS: 

I have yet to find a child who does not like animals, especially baby animals. Authors Jill Gorey and Nancy Haller take this concept and add it to the Fruits of the Spirit and the result is a very cute, adorable book entitled Pups of the Spirit. Each pup is given a "Fruit of the Spirit" which is a trait that God would like to see in all of us. The "Fruits of the Spirits" are: Love, Joyful, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control.

I thought that the book was very cute. I love that it take the fruits and shows the kids how they can be like the pups and thus live according to the fruits of the spirit. It is on their level. My 4 year old and 7 year old loved the book and my 2 year old loved looking at all the pictures.

I thought it is a very cute book to teach young children the traits that we all should be striving to live.
