It's always great to great Catholic children's books. The characters aren't overly perfect nor do they have bad attitude or questionable character traits that I wouldn't want my kids picking up. In this fifth book of the Chime Travelers series the twins finally chime travel together. All the way back to the first Christmas.
I love that although the kids know the story being in it gives them a different perspective and they react accordingly. I like that the lesson is taught and learnt in a seamless manner as it is lived out. The lesson is not just learnt but it is put into practice and lived out.
This book is not just enjoyable but character building and encouraging to kids as well. It is stated to be for ages 7-11, I think it is great for younger kids as a read aloud, and I also think older kids will enjoy it I certainly did!!!!
