I loved how this story allows us the reader to remember that our Heavenly Father did not leave us alone on the earth. That we (like the angels) should do the same. Great buy and tradition starter!

    This was a Christmas gift for my granddaughters. I read it before I gave it to them. I think they liked it.
    The only thing I wondered about was if it made them be afraid. Angels watch over you and protect you, but if you don't feel afraid why would you need the angel?

    My daughter says I "Overthink things all the time"...oh well.

    This was an early birthday present I sent through Amazon to give to my best friend's kid. My friend opened the package and said this is so awesome I have to give it to her early! She told me her kid loves the book and asks to read it every night. I am proud of the message of the book. I love that this little girl loves the book so much! She is learning so much about being kind to others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Must read story that you will pass down through the generations of your family!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I approached Angel on Assignment from two perspectives, first as a parent and second as an author.

    The first thing that impressed me was the high quality of the hardback book, which makes it perfect to pass down from generation-to-generation.

    The colors and attention to detail of the illustrations will enchant children as they are read the story.

    The timeless story is presented creatively and delivers comfort and peace to adults and children alike. Children will remember the story that Wanda Carter Roush superbly composed long after they become adults.

    Finally, there is a call to action that involves the child in making an angel that provides a daily reminder of God’s love and this story.

    If my daughter was still young, I know that she would want me to read this to her nightly.

    This is a beautiful book that your children will also read to their children and to future generations of your family for many years to come.

    I Highly recommend Angel on Assignment!

    What a wonderful story and great lesson for kids and adults. The illustrations are captivating and there are even donuts activity ideas in the back that are super cute. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because the comment is made that all that is needed is to “say” you invite God into your heart and there is no mention of baptism. That could be a slippery slope, but I’m keeping the book anyway because the message is so good. I’ll just discuss with the kids that according to the Bible, baptism is required when we follow God’s commands and move on. It is a hard and a touchy subject to get into a child’s book especially while rhyming. ;)

    A very insightful way to tell the story of angels and the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Wanda Carter Roush did an excellent job merging rhyming words, stories from the Bible and ideas of the heavenly and earthly angels to make it easy for boys and girls to understand the GREATER story.

    Kids will love the “Let’s Make an Angel” project at the end of the book.

    The illustrations are Awesome!

    This delightful book reminds us of the angels that surround us and assist us unbeknownst to us, throughout our day. It's perfect for Sunday School and a wonderful reminder that we are not alone no matter what problems we face. It's also a great way to teach kids early to let go and have faith. The activity at the end is the cherry on top.
