I'm Not a Scaredy Cat by Max Lucado; Illustrated by Shirley Ng-Benitez

Product Details

A Prayer for When You Wish You Were Brave

This is a nice hardcover book with a dust jacket suitable for ages 2 and up or any age where they will sit and listen to a story. Even as an adult, I can stand to remember this story.

It's the story of a cat who thinks he's a big, strong cat and not a scaredy cat, but turns out he's scared about a lot of things like sprinkles on his doughnut.  When fear strikes though, there is a prayer to pray.

"God, you are good.
God, you are near.
God, you are here!
And, God, you love me."

These words, are repeated throughout the book and are so very, very true. God is good, He is near and He hears me. I need to remember this when I want to allow fear to overtake me.

My daughter loves this book and had her daddy read it twice back to back as soon as the box was open. I hope she too can remember to go to God when she is scared.

I really like this book and the lesson it teaches. I will say for those who have read Max Lucado's Wemmick books or "A Hat for Ivan", this is not like those at all. I would say this book is geared for much younger children.

I received this book from Book Look Bloggers. No positive review was required.
