Grandpa’s Box

Post by Mgs » Thu Jul 20, 2023 6:11 am

Did your children immediately enjoy the book? We are only on chapter 4 and so far they tolerate it, but don’t like or love it. They are a bit older (almost 10) compared to others who use the guide. Just wondering if it gets better?

My 3 kids who I used it for as a read-aloud were around 8, 9, and 10 when I read it to them. By those ages, they knew a lot of Bible so it wasn’t new for them. However, they did end up enjoying the book overall. I used it as a read-aloud. Did it get better? I would have to say yes. It took about 7 - 8 chapters for us to really engage with the style of the book. Then we did enjoy it.

We engaged right away and loved it. My daughter was 8-9 when we were reading it and my then 5 turning 6 yo boy always wanted to listen in. They both ended up making their own "grandpa's box" with the corresponding figurines out of clay.

I’m excited to see if it gets better after a few chapters. The first few have been a bit cheesy lol. Noah’s ark was better (ch 4) compared to first couple.
