Humble Heart: A Book of Virtues (Humble Bumbles)

I think this book is sweet and useful but my 4 and 7 year old think it's boring because they yell "no" when I try to read from it. I like the lessons, it is a good way to talk to kids about being nice, humble, etc.

Common curtosey seems to have disappeared from our society. This book aids in connecting virtues to children at an early age that will hopefully remain with them the more the parents also use the books teachings.

Great book kids love it.

My kids love this book. They are 6, 9, and 10. They read it together, discuss what it means and how they can apply it.

Excellent book. Lots of stories. Great for my girls.

Lovely book.

My 5 year old loves it. We have read it over and over again. He loves the stories and the illustrations. I highly recommend it.

Humble Heart: a book of virtues is a collection of nine stories that introduce the child to the virtues of Humility, Love, Thoughtfulness, Faithfulness, Mercy, Encouragement, Comfort, Courage, and Joy through the Humble Bumble characters developed by Amy Meyer Allen. Each animal character learns about one of the virtues in a situational story which is colorfully illustrated.Each story begins with a simple definition of the virtue which will help the child understand the concept from the start. Each story ends with a question that allows the child to apply that virtue to his or her own life. There is also a Bible verse at the end of the story that reinforces these biblical virtues.The illustrations were simple and vibrant in color. Each page spread contained a full page picture on one page with the words of the story on the opposite page. I believe this is helpful in retaining a younger child's attention as the book is read. It is a square book with a slightly padded front cover which gives the book a nice "feel".I do like that this book allows parent/child interaction. These life lessons may be expressed in various ways in the family, with friends, at church, or anywhere the child interacts with others. I also like the interjection of Scripture with each virtue so the parent can stress that these characteristics are based on God's Word. Overall I think it is a wonderful and attractive book for children ages preschool to seven.I received a complementary copy of this book from the Tyndale Blog Network in exchange for my personal views.
