Review: A Favorite-Granddaughter keeps asking for the story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This cute little book, complete with photos is ideal for six year olds.The basic story is about the child's night light and how the light protected the child from all kinds of bad things in their room. It would be super if you have a child who is afraid of the dark and you want to encourage them by giving them a nightlight. most of the words are easy to learn and read.While it talks about monsters and other things, the photos are cute enough to offset the fear a child might experience by talking about those things. However, as all books for this age group, the wise parent Will preview the book to ensure that it doesn't give their over imaginative child ideas about things to be afraid of. My own Granddaughter enjoyed reading this with me on my iPad, and giggled at the monster and zombie.Our Granddaughter still has a battery powered nightlight for her own use ... So I know the power of this little tale. :-)However, as a pastor, I am also teaching her about the light of the world that never goes out. So for parents who want to use this tale, this is a good beginning story for young children beginning to learn about Jesus. Kids can relate to physical things better than esoteric words, so teaching them about Spark, the light, can be a lead in to them later understanding a different meaning.For those who are not Christian, the tale easily stands on its own as Spark simply being their nightlight.I was provided a gift copy of this book to read to my Granddaughter for a review.EditI thought this would be a one time story. Instead, she climbs up in the chair with me and asks to read it, after repetition, she even reads the harder words. It has become a favorite adn continues to be one!
