Overall, the Gigi books fit the bill when filling a void in Christian children's literature. My daughter loves all things princess, but I want her to understand the relationship between being a princess in God's eyes and all the pink frills and tutus. We had the first book in the series "Gigi: God's Little Princess" and I thought it was just adorable, Gigi was endearing and the writing was clever. So we ordered the box set that included the other 3 books. They are written in mostly the same tone with same general plot-- Gigi gets an elaborate idea in her head, faces a problem that brings her to tears, then a resolution where she realizes that God loves her and has given her lots of gifts. I love that the books celebrate being unique and true to yourself, and being faithful and loyal to your friends. Friendship, family, and using one's gifts to honor God are all big themes in the series. I wish some of the writing wasn't quite so predictable, but it is a kid's story after all. Aside from the Gigi in the first book, I felt at times she was a little obnoxious... but that could be from reading it over and over and over again. The books have a lot of text too, so be prepared when reading aloud. I do like the scripture references throughout. Also, buyers should note that these books are hardcover, but they are pretty small and the pages are paper, not a board book. I did not read the description well enough and was under the impression that I was purchasing.4 board books (like our first copy), but they after just smaller hardcovers. Nonetheless, my daughter doesn't mind at all and loves the carry handle on her little Gigi "briefcase".
I bought this set for my daughter (2.5 yrs old) for Christmas because even though we tried to avoid princesses she is obsessed with them. So, I figured I'd rather have her think of herself as God's princess with good morals instead of just the Disney version with dysfunctional families!! She loves them and insists on sleeping with them in her bed each night. Such a blessing! We purchased another set for her friend's 3rd birthday...little girls LOVE being a princess and it is important they know how much God loves them!!
I love these books, but they are probably more appropriate for a 4-yr-old. I loved them so much, I got them for my two-year-old. But they just don't keep her attention yet. I know she will love them too in a couple years. What girl doesn't love princess talk? And it is all tied in with God's kingdom, which is what makes it so wonderful.
I bought the Gigi Christmas book for my granddaughter when she was five. Months later she learned to tie her shoes by herself and wanted her training wheels removed. So proud of her I bought this treasure box with another book. She carries it everywhere! So now I'm buying every Gigi book available.
I loved this book set and the price. I was worried that they may be board books, but they're just smaller than normal books with full-length stories. The "treasure box" is a great way to store them and take them with you. My daughter loves them.
Gigi is an adorable, fun loving, imaginative little girl who, I think MANY girls can relate to. Which is what makes this series so great! When a child can personally relate to/with a character, it has a profound impact/influence. There are wonderful, character-building lessons in each Gigi story. It was great to get 4 stories in one set but, I thought they were the larger books (hard to tell in the picture) so I was a bit bummed to find that these books are pretty small. Not enough to return them though. So I'm still giving it 5 stars.
I bought this for my Great Niece GiGi, who is 2 and a half. She loved to carry the box. She already had one of the books, but not all 4 and in a box she could carry along with her. As she learns to read, I think these will be treasured.
4-in-1 Treasure Box Set (Gigi, God's Little Princess)I ordered this set for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter as a gift after she received Christ as her personal Saviour. Both my daughter and granddaughter loved them, and my daughter was very impressed with what a fun and yet solid tool of encouragement they were as my granddaughter begins to grow in her faith. I would definitely recommend the series - or the individual books!
