Genre: Christian,
Children’s, Classic Bible Stories, Rhymes.
Plot: With a soft
cuddly cover of fleece and fuzzy bunny ears, little ones can take their first
steps into the wonderful stories of the Bible. With a beautifully illustrated
picture full of immense detail yet somehow remaining very simple for small
eyes, several favorite stories are told in rhyming text that reads delightfully
and rolls off the tongue like honey. From Creation to Noah’s Ark, to Jonah’s
adventure, to Daniel and the Lions’ Den, we travel, winding up at the birth of
Christ, the story of the little lost lamb, the feeding of the five hundred and
the true Easter story. This little Bible is the perfect birthday and Easter
gift, and it’s wonderful for that special little someone in your life.
Likes/Dislikes: I
was really pleasantly surprised by the cover of this treasure. It’s all soft
fleece with a cute soft bunny on the front, complete with ears that will
doubtless get sucked and chewed on quite a bit. I love how the stories are all
told in rhyming poetry; it makes it a joy to read. I gave the book to my
almost-one-year-old daughter and she has spent two days investigating the
cover, opening and closing the book to see how the bunny disappears, and
hugging it while squealing happily. I tried reading it to her but that might
have to wait a little longer till her wonder of the cover dissipates somewhat.
My only concern is that I don’t know how to keep the cover clean, since I
obviously can’t stick the book in the wash.
Rating: G –
recommended for 6 months and up {it’ll make a good chew toy for younger babies otherwise}.
