God Gave Us the World

I am reviewing another book today:

 

God Gave Us the World (by Lisa Tawn Bergren art by Laura J. Bryant) is part of a series of "God Gave Us..." books about a Polar Bear family.  This story illustrates how it is in God's nature to be creative and therefore He created all kinds of bears who live in all kinds of places.  The story encourages "Little Cub" to compare and contrast the differences in all the bears she sees while walking through a "bear museum."  It furthermore encourages her to see God's creation as creative and beautiful even when the other bears are different from her.  It goes on to point out how the earth is God's gift to us and it would make him sad if we hurt it. 

This story would be a great conversation starter for young school age kids (K-2 perhaps?).  It was a little too wordy to hold the attention of my three year old, but my five year old listened with interest.  I'm not sure she quite grasped the overall concept, but with repetition, I think she'd likely catch on.


I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post. Any opinions expressed are my own.

My Dada

Ten months old and already a chatter box?  My youngest seems to be very verbal for such a little guy.  He's said "Mama" from VERY early on (though at the time we doubted that he knew what he was saying at first.)  It soon became clear that he did in fact know that saying "Mama" would get my attention. (Smart baby!)  Today he looked at the computer where my facebook page happened to be up.  He looked at my profile picture and said (quite clearly) "My Dada!" and got a big grin on his face.  Two word combo already?  Really? 

God Loves Me More Than That

Can I just take a moment and say I LOVE THIS BLOGGING FOR BOOKS program!!! :)  We've now added a second book to our library and I love the Christian values they help to teach.

The book God Loves Me More Than That (By Dandi Daley Mackall illustrated by David Hohn) is a beautiful book about the many ways God shows His love for us.  The illustrations are vivid and life-like. (They even captured the attention of my ten month old.)  The text is simple and flows well.  The concepts of God's love being high (higher than the moon), deep (deeper than a treasure chest beneath the sea), and other such adjectives are beautifully described and even more beautifully illustrated.  Definitely one we'll read over and over again!
