Synopsis:
"What do angels do all day, Papa?"

When Papa finds Little Cub looking for angels, it gives him a chance to tell his beloved child about those that may be in their midst, even when they can’t be seen.  Exploring their exhilarating Arctic world as they talk, Papa lovingly answers all of Little Cub’s questions about angels—and as usual, she has a lot. She wants to know what they do, how they look, how they guard God’s loved ones, and best of all, how they serve the Creator of the world. 

"God really created angels to serve him more than us, Little Cub.
They love him and would do anything for him."

This uplifting tale will encourage young hearts by exploring the glory and design of God’s messengers, while turning toward him with praise.   
Review:
This was such a wonderfully sweet and informative book! I have been curious about this illustrated series, God Gave Us, for kids for a little while. I have to say, this first adventure into this beautifully illustrated book makes me excited to read the rest of them.

Kids are always full of questions and sometimes it's hard to answer them. They can bounce around from subject to subject so quickly, you can loose track and get confused...that's from personal experience. I loved how Little Cub asked her Papa all of these questions and they were answered easily and smoothly, and on a level that is perfect for littles to understand.

This book takes what is known from the Bible about angels, they are servants of God who are ready to do anything He asks. They fight for us, they are messengers, they are warriors, and they can also watch over us. I loved how it was all presented.

The illustrations also enhance what Papa Bear is trying to say to Little Cub. The colors just pop! The drawings are beautiful and they flow from page to page. It is a story that can be a fantastic bedtime book!
