Imago Dei:
Little Seminary’s Guide to
The Image of God

A Review

Imago Dei is a board book designed for infants to 4-year-old children, according to the publisher.

The book is colorful and will be attractive to children. On the other hand, this reviewer would question whether the text would be understandable to the intended audience.

What child is going to understand what “Latin” means. As another example, one page reads, “We all have the same dignity and worth.” These are terms that would not be understood by most infants to four-year-olds. The text may be more appropriate to those learning English as a Second Language (ESL). For these reasons, I can only give the book three stars.

Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible - A Review

The Berenstain Bears

Storybook Bible

for Little Ones

by

Jan and Mike Berenstain

The Berenstains have created a cute Bible for two and three year-olds just beginning to grasp God's presence in our world.  Though a bit smaller than the image displayed in advertising, this board book could easily serve as the first Bible for pre-readers to share with their parents at the beginning and end of each day.  

The book holds eight short stories evenly chosen from the Old Testament and the New Testament scriptures.  The delightful artwork, staring the Berenstain Bears in all the key roles, will hold the preschoolers attention. Though the book would best fit the needs of the two or three year-old child, it would still be useful as they grow into early readers beginning 1st or 2nd grade.

I hope to share my copy  with my one to two year-old grandkids this coming holiday season.  I would recommend other parents and grandparents doing the same.

A Review

A cute, fuzzy, board book designed for the early preschooler.  The book includes eight Bible stories and pictures designed for the non-reader and their parents to share The front and back cover made of yellow felt-like material.  The tips of the chick’s beak and wings are floppy and can be pulled away from the surface of the book, allowing the book to be part toy as well as a fun book.  My wife and I will look forward to giving our copy to our 1½-year-old and 6-month-old grandchildren this Easter.
