There were lots of personal stories in the book that were "inspirational," but it was not right for me personally. I read this book on recommendation from another reader. It was well-written and interesting enough, but it was not exactly what I was looking for. If the description makes it seem like this book is up your alley, check it out!

This is a beautiful book for children ages 6-10! Bob Goff's writing is engaging and humorous and each short chapter show his point: Love does. Love is active. Love is willing to do the unexpected. Colorful illustrations add to the book's appeal. I can't wait till my children are older so we can read and discuss this book together.

Love Does for Kids has 46 chapters of love in action. Each story, from Bob’s childhood, wedding, parenting etc. Is an example of love. Whether it is patience or kindness or “I’ve got your back” moments this book had me laughing, crying and thinking. I think my favorite was the extravagant gift that Richard chose to give to the kindergarten class at his school. His focus wasn’t on his limitations (knowledge, finances, time…) but on what would be the most awesome way to show them how important and special that they are. I would suggest a chapter per week as a family. Again the illustrations are beautiful.

A lovely series of inspirational reflections with charming illustrations. This book would serve nicely as a daily reader for families or classrooms. I would like to see a reflection question or conversation starter at the end of each chapter to start a conversation with the young reader.
