I could not remember the entire title to buy it but with the amazon search I was able to track it down!

Rating: - The best book I have found for children yet.I loved this book because it is one of the few children's books that has real feeling. It underscores the true principal of Christianity in a way that children are able to understand. I bought this book for a little girl who became so attached to the book, she carried it around with her everywhere, and even slept with it, she loved it so much. I highly recommend this book for any child.
