A fun, rhyming storybook that introduces young children to the biblical concept of grace.

When Eric smashes Percy's pot of prize pansies, he tries to get away with it. But when none of his tactics work, Eric says sorry. His father pays for a new pot and Eric learns that grace is epic.
This fun, rhyming storybook introduces young children to the biblical concept of grace and teaches them to say sorry.

This is a book you’ll want to grab. It’s beautifully done and its message is fab.
As a parent of young children, the unfolding of Eric's story is all-too-familiar. But there's a twist that turns his predicament on its head! Grace is clearly explained, demonstrated, and applied. Kids and parents will appreciate this colorful and creative lesson on forgiveness and grace.
Kids will want to read this again and again while parents will love its clear message - taking us on a journey through guilt to the grace of Jesus. Epic!
I bought this for my granddaughter. I really do enjoy buying the children's books from the Good book company as they are engaging, bright, spiritual and attractive.
The theological content of this book is fine but I found the grammer and language (and also font size) not to my taste or the family for whom I had bought it, so I returned it.
The pages are big but the font is really small so difficult for children to read along/follow.
Running the risk of sounding a bit snobby (!), the style of language/writing is a lot more down to earth/less proper English than many children's books. For some people, they will like that, but I didn't think it was right for the families I had in mind. It's a real shame, as I think this book could be great.
This is my favourite of the Eric says series. The series is lovely to look at and easy to give away (all mums think they want to teach their kids to say sorry, thank you and please).
We used the books in story time the last 3 weeks of term then gave away the sorry books for children leaving for school. The sorry book clearly points to the gospel so great to give away.
The books are probably best for age 4 years and up as quite long for little ones.
