I have to agree with the previous reviewer about the language of this book. When someone talks about a child being 'bad', I find it irritating, but for an author to focus on words like 'naughty', 'bad', 'nice' in a book that is supposed to teach children about having making choices that truly please God, is the essence of talking down to a child. Even a three-year old can handle more descriptive adjectives than that.
The spanking thing bugged me too. Why is this the first resource to turn to when a child does something wrong?
That said, my three-year old loves the book because the lessons are short and work for him. We haven't skipped any of them, but sometimes I move quickly through the ones I like least.
A book I liked a lot more is "20 Bible Verses Every Child Should Know". Both kids (and mom) loved it, but you can only read any devotional book so many times...
