Take pictures of a cute monkey, add an interesting story line, top it off with a moral and Bible verses, and you get a book that I think all ages will enjoy. I got it for my niece, but I must admit that I wanted to read it as well, if for nothing else than the one page debunking of the 6 common theories of evolution.

Tim Ostermeyer has taken some great pictures of a monkey in the Japanese Alps and made them into a kid’s book, one that teaches about planning ahead. However, I think all of us could learn more about that at one time or another. We follow Snuggles as he learns about and travels to the hot springs, where he and his parents will spend the winter. We see what he goes through, and what he learns through the trip. I won’t spoil it for you, though.

The book is well thought out, the story and pictures match, I’d say perfectly. The lesson in the story is an important one. With many of the pages, scripture is included to further reinforce the lesson. Having a one page summary that disproves evolution, in language that children can understand will help them when they encounter those teachings later in life. There are some words that children will need help with, but that gives parents an opportunity to discuss the book with them.

Even though it was written for kids, I thought it was a good book. My niece has seen it, but she hasn’t had an opportunity to read it yet. She did like that pictures, though.

I received this book from BookCrash.com in exchange for this review.
