HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY KIDS Book Review & Giveaway

It’s time to get happy because we have a HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY STORIES FOR KIDS book review and a giveaway!

This is a Duck Commander book. But it doesn’t matter whether the readers are knowledgeable about hunting or even if they’re fans of the famed Duck Commander Robertson family. Every child will be able to relate to the experiences and emotions presented in the HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY STORIES FOR KIDS.

The Audience & the Authors

This hardcover book, published by Tommy Nelson, contains 210 pages and is written for an audience of four- to eight-year-olds.

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY STORIES FOR KIDS is written by Korie Robertson and her mom, Chrys Howard. Both are award-winning authors but what adds value to this devotion book is the years of experience they’ve had with children—lots of children!

Of course, their Christian faith also plays a crucial role since this is a book of “fun and faith-filled stories.”

The Content

All of the stories included are based on “mostly true” events. The book includes stories about the childhood experiences of Phil and Kay Robertson’s four sons. Also, there are stories about the Robertson’s grandchildren.

Each chapter features a story followed by three sections.

“What Does the Bible Say?” usually includes one or more scripture verses that tie into the story’s teaching point.

“Let’s Talk About It” presents questions about the story, plus one question for readers to apply to their own lives. It includes lines if readers want to write down their answers.

“Duck Commander in Action” provides “steps to put into practice the biblical application of the story.”

The book also includes a few lined pages at the back for a child to write their own story.

Children can relate to the topics in each story. A few of those topics cover getting along with others, dealing with fears, adjusting to changes, making good choices, and growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

I found a website set up for this book. You’ll find a free preview of one of the book’s chapters there.

Happy Illustrations

This book has colorful illustrations on every page. Readers will find people with various skin colors and a variety of animals including dogs, deer, and of course, ducks.

I don’t know if Willie Robertson wore his signature red, white, and blue bandana as a boy. But I thought it was cute how the illustrator, Holli Conger, included it in her illustrations of the young Willie in the book.

Her illustration of Phil in his recliner is spot-on!

Happy to Recommend

I recommend this book for families who want realistic, entertaining stories to teach biblical values. I think these stories will certainly help boys and girls to be happy, happy, happy.
