Review by Mike and Amy Nappa

Four for Tiny Ones

The Beginner's Bible Chunky Books are just that-chunky little picture books just right for little fingers. The bright, cartoonish illustrations, especially the wide-eyed animals with their cute smiles, are sure to please toddlers. Each title focuses on a basic element of the story it covers without trying to tell all the details.

God's creative works are simply explained and portrayed in God's Week of Creation. Mountains, rivers, day and night, as well as birds, fish, and animals make their debut in this book with man as the final creation.

David's Flock of Sheep shows David doing things all children enjoy. He sings, runs, jumps, and best of all, cares for his sheep. Just as a child might care for a pet, David makes sure his sheep are clean, fed, and loved.

Colors, shapes and sizes are explored in Noah's Ark of Animals-a refreshing change from books that use this story to teach animal names. But while no animals are named, children will enjoy picking out the elephants, frogs, and monkeys for themselves.

In Joseph's Coat of Colors, Joseph finds different items in nature that are the same color as the stripes of his coat. This may inspire toddlers to begin looking for colors in creation that match their own clothes!
