JEALOUSY OF LITTLE FROG-A REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

Our friend Crista Stewart has a new book out in her Little Frog series!

This one is called Jealousy of Little Frog.

Crista started writing the series several years ago in an effort to reach children with God's Word in a way that was easy for them to understand. I was so excited to see her first issue come out called The Little Frog, followed by The Little Frog Learns the Golden Rule.

FROG is Crista's way of reminding children to Forever Rely On God.

In Jealousy of Little Frog, Little Frog deals with something all of us have had to deal with: The green-eyed monster of jealousy. Little Frog's human friend, Chase, brings home a donkey named Jack. Immediately, Little Frog is jealous of all the time Chase is spending with Jack.

Instead of talking  to Chase about his feelings, Little Frog sulks and pouts and won't give Jack a chance. It isn't until Little Frog is in church (tucked safely in Chase's backpack pocket) that he hears the pastor talk about jealousy and how Joseph in the Bible had 13 brothers who were jealous of Joseph. Because Joseph's father gave Joseph a beautiful coat, his brothers becane angry and sold Joseph as a slave. 

It wasn't until many years later that Joseph and his family were reunited, and with God's help, was able to forgive his brothers for what they had done.

Little Frog realizes that he needs to ask God to help him with his feelings about Jack. And of course, God delivers and Little Frog is able to become friends with Jack. 

The book is sweet, the pictures colorful and vibrant, and the message is wonderful! I {Mandy} read the story to my kids before bed last night and all of them, ages 8 to 22 months, listened and looked at the pictures. 

Crista has done it again! She has taken a story from the Bible and broken it down to a kids' level of understanding and presented a practical application for everyday life. 

Something else I love is that this book, published by Tate Publishing, offers an audio download and a Parent Resource Page in the back of the book. Crista has thought this through and has provided talking points for parents to engage their children and further the conversation with them. The Parent Resource page suggests reading the actual story of Joseph in Genesis, have the child(ren) write or draw a picture of a time he/she was jealous, and look up more verses (provided) about jealousy. As an added bonus, Crista provides facts about donkeys. I thought that was a cute touch. 

Aside from Crista being a dear friend, I highly recommend buying this book for your children. It's one you won't mind reading night after night and, in my thinking, the more ways I can drive home Biblical points in a way my children understand and enjoy, the better!

You can order Crista's book in paper back or Kindle edition by clicking HERE. 

And very exciting: Crista has agreed to give away a soft cover book to one lucky reader! 

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
