Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday – ENDED

I didn’t plan to offer two children’s books in a row, but with it being Sunday and all, I thought today was a perfect day to tell you about Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday by Mike Thaler (and illustrated by Jared Lee). Before receiving this book to review, I had never heard of the Black Lagoon Series (that this book is a part of), but after reading it with my daughter, Cameron, I feel confident that we’ll be adding a few more of these to our library.

As I mentioned, we received this book to review and I accidentally left it sitting out before I was actually ready to review it.  Cameron saw it and had to read it. So I told her she could if she sat by me and was VERY careful.  Oh, and she had to read it to me (what better way to review a book than to have it read to you, right?).  Well, she read it to me TWICE because she wanted to read it again, and then begged me to let her take it to our grandmother’s house so she could read it to her.  I decided I might as well turn our copy over to her so I said yes.  The following Sunday, she took it to Sunday School to read to the preacher.  Yes, Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday was that popular in our house.

Mike Thaler, author of the Black Lagoon series, has authored more than 200 books and sold more than 12.5 million copies of the Black Lagoon books. His newest set being the “Tales from the Back Pew” series starts with Preacher Creature Strikes on Sunday. 

This book offered such an interesting view of a little boy going to church for the first time with his Mom.  In the beginning, he is not really that excited about going and would actually prefer not to, but by the end of the book, he is excited and ready to not only come back, but to bring his friends too. His first encounter at church includes the concept of sitting and standing (and sitting and standing), staying awake during the service, church hymns, and paying tithes.
