Publisher's Description

Caleb desperately wants a cat, but his mother is allergic to them. When a stray cat show ups at the house, Caleb can’t resist taking care of it—despite his mother’s sneezing! Hopes are dashed when Caleb’s father explains to him that he cannot expect God to always answer his prayers in the way he wants. Yet a surprising twist in the story makes Caleb eventually realize that “God does answer prayer, in His own time and in His own way.”

Editorial Reviews

"Children learn from stories that spark their imagination and help them see the world through other people’s eyes. In this delightful book by Doreen Tamminga, young readers will meet other children in situations that are both varied and close to every child’s experience. By entering into the characters’ thoughts in a way that is only possible through Scripture. Interspersed with uplifting poems based on God’s Word, the book abounds with words of comfort, encouragement, and trust in a God who is always near to help and ready to forgive." – Simonetta Carr, author the Christian Biographies for Young Readers Series


"Doreen Tamminga’s A Better Ending contains simple stories, short enough to accommodate young attention spans and describing situations real children deal with daily. Young readers will recognize these temptations and struggles and hopefully find encouragement for dealing with similar situations themselves." – Starr Meade, author of Give Them Truth: Teaching Eternal Truths to Young Minds
