Thank You God For Blessing Me by Max Lucado is a short book featuring little Hermie. It is about 4 pages and would be ideal for a short story before bed with smaller children, setting the tone to calm them down before an evening prayer. It gives children ideas of things they can be thankful for in their own life and opens the door to discussion with them about what they feel their blessings are. I felt like it was a great way to encourage to be thankful and appreciate what God has given them and done for them.
Hermie thanks God for His blessings, for providing him a place to sleep, food to eat, and special friends. He asks God to help him to obey and be kind so that he can be his best for God. I read this book to my children and while it wasn't their favorite book ever, it did hold their interest and they enjoyed it. Since the book is about little Hermie, the illustrations are not exactly like those in the cartoons of Hermie. The illustrations are colorful and sweet, however, and the picutres were cute and fun to look at as we read the story.
Overall, while it is short, it had some depth to it and I felt like it was a beneficial book for my kids. I was provided with a copy of this book by BookSneeze in exchange for my review.
