This review is from: The Baby Bible Christmas Storybook (The Baby Bible Series) (Board book)

Audra Jennings from the B&B Media Group sent me this delightful little book for the purpose of review, and I am so glad that she did!

I have read this book to my 22 month old daughter a couple of times and she loves it! Now when you ask her to go get a book to read, she runs and finds this one, no matter where it is in the house and hands it to you and says, "Baby G-us" (her pronunciation of Jesus).

The illustrations are simple, but colorful. Each page gives you a different phase of the Christmas story along with the scripture so you can read to your little one from the Bible. Each phase is told in four short sentences followed by interactive suggestions, which keeps the little one's attention. At the end of each "story" is a one sentence prayer. Here is an example from the book:
Mary's Secret
Luke 1:30-31
The angel told Mary a special secret.
Put your fingers on your lips: shhhhh.
Mary will have a baby.
Point to Mary in the picture.
The baby will be God's Son, Jesus.
Pretend to rock a baby.
Mary was glad to be a mommy to Jesus.
Smile a big smile.
Dear God, thank You for the best secret: Jesus. Amen
If you have infants or toddlers in your home or know someone who does, this would be an excellent gift this Christmas season. Or Grandparents, this would be a valuable resource to have on hand for those little ones in your life who might visit from time to time.

This review is from: The Baby Bible Christmas Storybook (The Baby Bible Series) (Board book)

When my boys were little, we enjoyed the Baby Bible Storybook, a book of simple Bible stories paired with sweet finger plays, rhymes, and other activities that made the Bible stories come alive for the youngest listeners. And so, when I was given the opportunity to review the Baby Bible Christmas Storybook by Robin Currie [David C. Cook; Board book edition (October 1, 2010)], I was most excited. The Baby Bible Christmas Storybook does not disappoint. With simply worded stories; brightly-colored illustrations; and fun actions and activities, the board book version of The Baby Bible Storybook would make a wonderful gift for any family with young children, from infants through preschoolers.

Special thanks to Karen Davis, Assistant Media Specialist, The B&B Media Group for sending me a review copy. I received this book free for the purpose of reviewing it. I received no other compensation for this review. The opinions expressed in this review are my honest opinions. Your experience may vary.
