The Time-for-bed Angel
The author of this book came to our children's school to visit with them about how to write a book. She personalize and signed the book for both my son and my daughter. It was great to meet her. I happened to be substituting at school that day and she sat and ate lunch with me.
A good bedtime book
Ronica Stromberg takes a playful look at what a guardian angel must do to keep up with a child, particularly a little boy named Andrew, in The Time-for-bed Angel. Andrew's guardian angel, Sam, watches over him day and night, through all Andrew's daily adventures. Andrew is a mischievous lad, who gets himself into all kinds of messes throughout the day that Sam must continually "sort out." By the time Andrew is ready for bed, Sam is too.
The text is minimal. The story starts out, "Andrew could ruffle the feathers of an angel. And he did." The words don't explain what's going on, but the lively illustrations by Kristina Stephenson sure do, as we can see Sam hovering in the background, trying to keep up with his charge.
What I Like: I like a story for young children about angels that is written in a way children can understand. As mentioned, there are very few words, but there are lots of pictures to convey the message clearly that it's not easy for a guardian angel to keep up with a young child. Children will understand the message just by looking at the pictures.
And, this is a great bedtime book for little ones.
What I Dislike: I like the story and the illustrations, I just think it would have been nice if the author had included some Biblical reference about angels on the title page.
Age Appeal: 2-5.
Overall Rating: Very good.
Christine M. Irvin - Christian Children's Book Review
COMPLETELY misses the point of Angels!
I ordered this book for my son because I really wanted a book to explain who angels are to a 3 year old. When I actually read the book I couldn't believe how off the author was! The boy's angel did nothing but fly around and pick up his toys, food spills, and junk during the entire book. NO VARIATION. My son would be left thinking that he could trash the house, and his wonderful guardian angel would just clean it up by morning! For anyone that is Christian and actually understands the much more important role/ job that angels take on, this book is just plain insulting.
Cute Book
This is a really cute bedtime story about a guardian angel and the busy boy he keeps watch over. My son and I both laughed at the comic pictures that go along with the text. I think other parents won't mind if the book becomes their child's favorite because it doesn't take long to read and is calming.
