Hermie: Who Is In Charge Anyway? Book Review


I recently watched Hermie: Who Is In Charge Anyway? One of many DVD's in the series by Max Lucado. This video was about Freddie the Flea. He was feeling down because he did not think that he was special, and he did not know why God made him the way he was. Freddie takes a trip down memory lane as he remembers the wonderful things that his bug friends have done, and how each of them are special. This is a wonderful lesson for children because eventually Freddie discovers what makes him special, and that all God's Creatures are special. Although I thought the message was great, I did not especially care for the video because of the flashbacks. It was a little hard to follow having not seen ALL the previous videos in the series. My three year old son watched this video with me. He was easily distracted by the flashbacks, he was not very interested in continuing to watch. I love the characters and the messages of this series, and we will certainly watch more.
