BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible Review & Giveaway
Zonderkidz sent me the BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible to review and give away to one of my blog readers. It will not hit the store shelves until December, so you could win a copy before everyone else gets one! Apparently, faith-based brick-building books are hot items. NIrV Faith Builders Bible and Building Faith Brick by Brick: An Imaginative Way to Explore the Bible with Children are two more examples. However, today, we’re reviewing the BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible. In its 224 pages, it retells thirty-five stories from the Bible. At the end of each story, there is a “Building Block” section with a two- or three-sentence summary. This is followed…

MY CHRISTMAS ABC’s Christian Book Review
Christmas will be here before you know it, so today I’m sharing a Christian book review of the MY CHRISTMAS ABC’s board book. My one-year-old grandson will LOVE this book for Christmas!

The twenty sturdy pages are filled with beautiful, full-color illustrations. A few objects on each page are sprinkled with a fine, iridescent glitter. Multiethnic people are represented. The baby Jesus’ face is not white but light brown. Also, Santa Claus, elves, and flying reindeer do not appear…

LOVE IS KIND by Laura Sassi- Book Review & Giveaway
In LOVE IS KIND, by Laura Sassi, there’s a precious little owl in pursuit of the perfect gift for Grammy’s birthday—a heart-shaped box of chocolates. But Little Owl’s trip to Chipmunk’s Chocolate Shoppe is anything but smooth. This beautiful picture book will delight children ages four-to-eight years old. French artist, Lison Chaperon, gives attention to every detail in the adorable illustrations. I love how she weaves verses from the “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, into her illustrations of a stream, over a hearth, in the petals of a sunflower, and other special places.
