This is a great Advent book for families with young children and elementary age children. There are daily devotions, activity suggestions, and puzzles. There is also a poster Advent calendar with a new sticker for each day. It is easy to use the Advent calendar and devotions in a way that fits well with your children's ages and interests.
I used this book as a daily Advent devotion with my 6 year old daughter during the month of December. We both enjoyed it very much! My daughter's favorite part was the Advent calendar poster that went on the wall. She had fun finding the placing a new sticker on the poster each day as we counted down the days until Christmas.
