In this second book of the HeartSmart series, preschoolers are invited to join five-year-old Jackson for a day at Grandpa’s farm. I did not like this one as well the first in the series "Let's Learn About the Lord's Prayer". In this book Jackson and his friend (the reader) gather eggs, feed the lambs, and brush the horses. When it looks like a storm is coming, Jackson and his grandma go in the house and let Grandpa and his dog, Beau, gather up the sheep and lambs to get them safely in the barn. This reminds Jackson of a story that he heard in church. He and grandma talk about the 23rd psalm and how Jesus is the Good Shepherd. The psalm is actually printed in its entirety at the end of the book. This would be a good book to have in a Sunday School classroom or early Kindergarten class in a Catholic or Christian School environment, as well as in any Christian home.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.… (mer)
