The Wemeck's want to own as many balls and boxes as they can so that they can be the best Wemeck in town. A Wemeck named Punchinello sells everything he owns so he can buy all the boxes and balls he can. He learns a valuable lesson after speaking with the Wemecks' creator.

Again, an absolute banger. Max lucado’s stories are always so touching and heartwarming. This book was such a great reminder that our worth is not in what we own.

Second book in the series is basically the same as the first, instead of stars it is now about boxes and balls, it is against the whole mantra of whoever has the most toys wins.
Fairly heavy handed and again missing the central thesis of Christian theology rather it is more feel good and feel special, following God but the definition for who God is beyond your maker becomes very fuzzy and not that helpful.
It has some value but that value is somewhat limited.

Though not quite as precious to me as "You are Special," this book is a sweet reminder to children that they are loved just because and no matter what. I love Lucado's books!

This book has a very sweet message and is a good reminder of what really matters in life. In a world where everyone seems to be competing to have the biggest and the best, this book shows that material things are not what bring happiness. It can be exhausting trying to keep up with that mentality! We need to trust in our maker (Heavenly Father) to know what is best for us. It is in doing what He wants us to do, that we find true and everlasting happiness.A great message for readers of all ages!
