Buster's Ears Trip Him Up {A Children's Book Review}


Buster's Ears Trip Him Up: When You Fail by Edward T Welch is a great book in the Good News For Little Hearts Series is a great addition to our ever-overflowing bookshelf! 

This book, Buster's Ears Trip Him Up, addresses pride as well as how to recover when you fail at something. This book is definitely for ages 5+ as it is on the longer side and the concepts are for older than toddler-age children. 

Buster and his sister go to summer camp and Buster is looking forward to a race that he is certain he will win. He is boastful throughout the week and so sure of himself. When the race takes place, he looks back to see how far ahead he is and when he does, he trips and falls and loses the race for his team. He is overwhelmed by the loss and he and his sister have a big conversation about pride coming before the fall as well as God loving no matter our failures. The key verse is Romans 5:8 which is one Mason has recently studied in AWANA so it was fun to go back over that verse and see it in a real-life situation. 

I think this book is great for any child but especially for children who are going through a season of boasting/pridefulness. Incredible, incredible resource! 

**Thank you to the publisher for sending this book!**
