I recently bought this book from my local Kroger grocery store. I walked right past it and turned around. After flipping through a few pages, I fell in love with the concept and child like theme. Plus I loved the fact that it helps teach children about very important people who helped changed the world with God's help. My son is only 4 months and I really enjoyed reading this book to him. Can't wait till he can read it and really understand it when he gets older. GOING TO COLLECT THE ALL. ❤ ON THE PENNY:)
