I think encouraging young girls to read a daily devotional is wonderful, but I'm confused about the target audience age for this book. I have two granddaughters, ages seven and ten, and there were times I felt the writing was too "old" for the seven-year old and other times it was too "young" for the ten-year old. Most of the topics seemed more suited to a ten-year old, but were presented in a way that was more suited for a seven-year old. When I reached the end of the book, I saw that there were multiple contributors, so maybe that's the reason for the inconsistencies.

Even as an adult (a grandmother!), though, this devotional ministered to my heart. I will say, however, that I found some of the lessons to be repetitive - again, this might have been due to having multiple contributors.

Two concerns I have with the content are as follows:
**I believe the suggestion to "Sneak a special snack to someone who really deserves a treat" is ill-advised.. A child should not be encouraged to be sneaky, i.e., doing something without the knowledge of the parents. Also, it's potentially dangerous for one child to give another a food treat without permission from the adults! What if the child being given the treat has an allergy that the giver is not aware of?!
**There is discussion concerning running away from home, but I didn't feel that there was enough of a warning against doing so.

With the exception of my concerns noted above, I recommend this devotional. I feel that there were sound biblical truths shared in an easy to understand (if occasionally patronizing) manner.

My girls loved this devotional! It was easy to go through and kept them engaged which is important as young readers. They are now asking for more daily devotions to start their day together.
