The story of creation, as told in the
biblical book of Genesis, remains a favorite topic for children young and
old. A new book,
The Wonderful World God Made,
gives this age-old tale new life in an exciting fashion. This beautiful, 32
page hardcover edition was released in February 2004 by Kregel Publications.
Author P.J. Lyons sets the account to
rhyming verse, while the gorgeous illustrations of Lori Esposito bring the
story to life. Lyons’ verse offers a building repetition that will draw in
younger readers. The edition’s intended audience is stated as children over
five years of age, but will I believe the book’s artwork will captivate
older readers and adults, who will notice new detail on each page as the
story unfolds.
The Wonderful World God Made
would make an excellent gift for religious celebrations, and will round out
any family’s library of favorites.

Bedtime Book of Bible Stories by author Tim Dowley and illustrator
Stephanie McFetridge Britt is a collection of favorite Bible stories, with a
simple question for reflection and a short prayer for each. The book is
intended for children ages 4-7.
Bedtime Book of Bible Stories is designed for toddlers and young
children, but will still appeal to early elementary age children. My
youngest son and I enjoyed the book before bedtime, sharing the stories and
prompted to conversation by the questions at the end of each of the stories.
He is a third grader and is familiar with many of the old and new testament
stories in the book, but still enjoyed the book greatly.
The ten classic Bible stories in the book are written in
perfect length for "bedtime", with a reflection question at the end of each
leaving time for a few minutes of prayer and reflection before you tuck in
your little one. Early readers will enjoy this one, as each page contains
approximately five to ten simple lines of text. Stephanie McFetridge Britt's
wonderful illustrations help the stories to come alive. This one will give
you and your children sweet dreams and happy bedtime memories.
