The Little Green Frog Review

ACE School of Tomorrow has a little book for fourth grade called The Little Green Frog. Laura is on chapter 4. I decided to sit down today and read it so that I could help Laura if she ran into problems when answering the questions.

This little book touched my heart. It is about a little girl whose parents are missionaries in China. They send the little girl, Biddy, to England to stay with an aunt because she's had some health issues and can't seem to get well in China.

This little girl is adorable. She's an awesome model for other little girls to read. First, Biddy loves Jesus. She talks about Jesus quite often in the book. The cast of characters is wonderful.

This book shows how a simple love for Jesus not only guides the little girl but touches the lives of all the characters in the book. Through-out the whole story is a little knick-knack, a Little Green Frog, that Biddy keeps to remind her of her home and friend in China.

I loved it and can't wait for Laura to really get into it more.

This book reminded me of the simplicity of the gospel. So often we complicate things. This book reminded me that following Christ isn't supposed to be hard or complicated, and above all turning to him is supposed to be my first priority. I didn't have a solid beginning in following Jesus as a child. This book showed me what I could have had, what I hope to still have, and what I want for my children. It showed me what simple faith truly is and what it can do.
