My Happy Pumpkin {a Review}

I love Fall. Like really, REALLY love Fall. It could stay Fall pretty much all year, with a few exceptions. As you know I do read and review books, but I’ve never read a children’s book with the intent of reviewing it, until I saw this little gem on the BookLookBloggers.com website: My Happy Pumpkin by Crystal Bowman, illustrated by Claudine Gevry.

I’ve gotten a few of this style of book before {Christmas Angels and My Christmas Stocking, both by the same author—Affiliate Link} and the kids and I have loved all of them. This book was no different! It’s a sing-song rhyme-y story telling little ones about God’s love and how He cleans out our yucks and fills us with His light for all the world to see.

The pictures are vibrantly colored and detailed enough for little kids to enjoy. The book is a nice sturdy board book {my kids destroy them way too easily, but I think this one would last at least a week in our house}.

Some of the other reviews stated that they didn’t like the theology, that it somehow emphasized that being good/obedient was the way to be saved. The book simply states that we show God we love Him by obeying, and trying to be good so that other’s can see God’s light in us.

All in all I felt this was a pretty cute book, that makes a great little gift to get people in the spirit of Fall.
