Puffins, Ponies, and Wonderful Things:
A Bedtime Adventure
When her child can’t seem to settle down for bed, Mom suggests a playful game: “Let’s practice thinking of wonderful things, like puffins and ponies or a parrot who sings.”
What wonderful things can you think of? Silly monkeys with bananas? The smell of warm cookies? All the pillows and blankets on your soft, fluffy bed? A mother and child dream up colorful, delightful wonders and then discover the best part: All the things they’ve thought of are good gifts from the God who loves them.
This whimsical picture book is based on Philippians 4:8, which instructs us to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy–all the wonderful things! Both a Scripture-rooted bedtime practice and a strategy that can be used for years to come, Puffins, Ponies, and Wonderful Things leaves children drifting off to sleep feeling happy and loved.
Playful rhymes give kids ages 4-8 a simple way to redirect their thoughts to God’s goodness at bedtime.
