Here’s mine: “This well-illustrated book clearly and logically introduces theology for children.”
When my wife (who has a degree in Early Childhood Education) first saw the book, she remarked that she really likes the illustrations.
When my seven-year-old first saw the book the afternoon it arrived in the mail, she promptly read through the whole book in one sitting! And along the way she noticed a theology lesson that refers to root beer floats, so guess what we’ve been having for dessert recently at the Naselli home?
Sovereign Grace Music released a creative children’s album to accompany the book:
I added this new album along with a few others such as Waiting Songs to my post “Bible Memory for Young Children.”
Update: Here’s a video of the album’s opening song:
Update: The chorus from the album’s second song (“Just the Way God Wanted Us to Be”) is increasingly controversial in our culture:
We are the image of the God of all the world.
He made us boys; he made us girls.
Different pieces of the puzzle joined together perfectly,
We are just the way God wanted us to be.
