While Angels Watch

by Marni McGee

"Long ago, when the world was new, the angels had all the work to do," begins this quietly hopeful book. "But where did all those Angels go? Where are they now? Does no one know?" In this tender book, the animals tell how the Angels share our lives today. Told in gentle rhymes and illustrated with lovely detail, this book brings comfort to everyone -- that Angels are watching over each of us. A treasure.

A lovely tale about on how angels can be boy and creation to the earth. I love the illustrations in the book because I love the sparkly dots on each page representing the angels presence and how the angels watch over each of us.

Amazing story. We enjoyed it to pieces.

This is a lovely book for very young children. It is extremely vibrant in its use of colour. What I liked about this book is that it uses many different images of different animals which help children to learn the names of common animals. The book rhymes which makes it easy to listen to and easy to understand. The message behind the book is very sweet and tells about angels and the work they have done on Earth for both animals and humans. It tells the children that angels are always around to look after them. It's a lovely book and I would highly recommend it for young children.

Beautiful illustrations that child and adult will love. The text is so sweet it could bring a tear to your eye while reading it. I rally loved this book for my child because it has animals which he loves but is also a reminder that he is never alone.
