My 6yodd and I have been truly enjoy these stories. Even the younger boys will sit and listen sometimes, and they both look at the book cover and remember "Danny" and "Debbie." Some of the stories are quite long. In fact, she fell asleep in the middle of one earlier this week. So they really aren't geared for the younger kids. But we enjoy reading aloud together in the evening, and this is a great choice. There is a book that actually comes before this one, "A Hive of Busy Bees," that we haven't purchased or read yet, but we very much want to.
I love using stories to teach character lessons -- after all, isn't this what Jesus did so often?! -- because the lessons really sink in as the characters and situations become alive to the children.
This book is great bedtime reading! Enjoy!
