Buster Tries to Bail: When You Are Stressed
As in all of the volumes in this series, the illustrations are excellent! Joe Hox has done a fabulous job of creating beautiful pictures that accurately tell the story and capture the emotions of the characters in the story.
This story about Buster Bunny helps teach little ones (and adults!) about the topic of stress. All of these books are based on the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation’s model of help and hope, meaning that the counsel is Bible-saturated and Christ-centered. The reader will easily find those elements present in this book. The story flows very well, with children wanting to know what happens next as they sit on the edge of their seats. The lessons that they learn from Scripture about stress are relevant and hope-giving.
As in all of these books in this series, there are “Back Pocket Bible Verses” in the back of the book, little perforated cards that are able to be carried around. This book also includes a few pages in the back that are addressed to parents in order to help them practically help their own children with this topic.
This book was so helpful in teaching my own children about this topic. We as Christian parents know that we must point our little ones to Jesus for their help and hope, but just how do we actually do that in specific situations? This book will help aid in that process. I highly commend this book to you! Tolle lege, take up and read!
