Eric Says Please (Eric Says Series)

Eric is a very relatable young boy, who tries to do everything by himself, and it all goes wrong, until at the end of the day his grandfather is able to talk to him about the wisdom of asking for help when needed. The pictures are fun and colourful, the book is a nice large paperback, and feels nice to hold and read. I would recommend it for children 4-8.

The third book in the 'Eric' series does not disappoint! Although the title may make you think this is merely a book about using your manners, it actually deals with the much more complex issue of dependance. Eric wants to do everything himself, but when his day goes disastrously, he learns that in fact he needs other people to help him, and it is ok to ask. Eric also learns that it is the same with God - we all desperately need His help. What a fabulous book from rapper Dai Hankey with cool rhyming text to teach the biblical truth of dependance on God.
