My Thoughts: This was a very cute story about a kid who isn’t so sure Vacation Bible School is something he wants to do over summer vacation. It’s silly, too – and that’s something my kids love. The illustrations are cute, too. My kids and I enjoyed reading this, and are happy to be adding it to our library. I also liked that it aims to help get kids excited about VBS, and that there’s an emphasis on having a relationship with God.

My Rating: 4.5 stars
