Gabby God'd Little Angel, Sent to Show God's Love by Sheila Walsh is a wonderful book that teaches kids a great lesson: God loves them so much that He sends His angels to protect them. My kids really enjoyed this book. It held their interest and had their attention the whole time I was reading. At the end of the story, there is a Scripture verse that reinforces the lesson in the book and is short enough that it would be easy for children to memorize.
Gabby is a little angel who is somewhat clumsy, but has a kind heart. Her assignment is to a little girl named Sophie who loves adventurous activities like climbing trees. Gabby thinks that Sophie will need a big angel to keep up with her, but she is the one assigned to her. Sophie is so excited because she is about to get to ride her pony for the first time. Before Sophie gets on the pony, Gabby tells the pony to be gentle and safe with Sophie because God loves her. When the pony gets startled and starts to buck, Sophie rushes to her rescue. Even though the rescue doesn't take place as smoothly as Gabby had planned, all ends well and Sophie is safe. That evening, Sophie tells her mom that she felt like someone was protecting her. Her mom tells her that God says in His Word that He sends His angels to protect us.
I thought this book was wonderful. The illustrations are colorful and my kids enjoyed looking at them. I have a feeling that this will be one of the books that my daughter wants me to read over and over. I would suggest it for pre-school to early elementary age kids. I was provided with a copy of this book from Book Sneeze in exchange for my review.
