Jake Helps Out: Biblical Values
I Can Read – Level 2 – The Jake Series
Jake is excited about going to the beach with Mother, Father, and his little sister, Kelly. He wants to help out so they can be on their way. After spilling the milk, breaking a plate, and sloshing pickle juice in the picnic basket, he finally goes to his room feeling like he’s just in the way. While waiting for Mother and Father to finish the chores, he reads books to Kelly.
When they get to the beach, Jake helps Kelly build a sand castle and teaches her how to swim. At the end of the day, Mother and Father explain to Jake that he was a big helper even though he didn’t realize it.

Unique Helpfulness Message: I think the book gives a great message about what it means to be helpful. I’m sure parents will appreciate the message that older siblings are a big help when they are taking care of their little brothers and sisters. At the beginning of the book, there is a proverb: “Don’t hold back good from those who are worthy of it. Don’t hold it back when you can help.” Proverbs 3:27

A Great Early Reader! Crystal Bowman’s Jake Helps Out is an ideal book for young kids who find their attempts at helping often end in a big mess. Jake is a character all young children can relate to, and Bowman and Maizel do a great job dealing with a topic that really does impact children’s self esteem: Chores and being helpers.
