My Thoughts:

A Christ Centered Read-Aloud Little Kicker Book

Little Kicker had never seen rain much less experience a rainstorm.

He noticed the dark clouds and heard a great BOOM then came the raindrops. He was so frightened that he ran and kicked up his front legs then his back legs trying to get the rain away from him but the rain and the loud BOOMS would not go away.

Little Kicker's mother came to his side then his father rushed to his side also. His father told him he needed to pray whenever he felt frightened. His parents explained why God gave them rain. Then they prayed together for God to take away Little Kicker's fear.

Little Kicker watched his friends reaction to the rain. They all seemed to be enjoying the rain in one way or another.

Can you think of ways rain is a blessing to us? God has given us the gift rain! Have you ever played in the rain or after a rainstorm?

The author touches on a common child's fear and how prayer can release us from fear. She also emphasizes many ways God 's creatures can rejoice in his gift of rain.

There are many fun facts and activities all through the book and they are colorfully illustrated by the author to attract the child attention into interacting with Little Kicker and his friends. Parents will even enjoy reading and joining the child in all the activities in this darling book, Little Kicker's First Rainstorm.

I highly recommend this book!

I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
